A world without Java

[Sridhar Santhanakrishnan]

Imagine that there is no trace of Java. Absolutely nothing. Completely wiped out.

What do you see yourself doing?

Me, I would go back to my first love, Math.

[Bear Bibeault]

I'd be using whatever language had evolved to fill the gap that Java left. Languages are just tools. after all.

For sure, I've used 30 or so professionally over the years.

And I'm sure that Java is not the last one I'll use.

But this may be too meaningful for MD.

Actually even if all computers evaporate, we (human beings) will for sure recreate them all from scratch.

Are you young and sexy? If not, you will have no career as a guitarist. Its been years (decades really) since being able to play the guitar was important in being in a rock band.

[Ankit Garg]

Aah come on. I am young (20 Years) but not Sexy. And this is just I wanna do apart from development. So I said that. I am not really going into rock band, and neither is java vanishing (remember this is meaningless drivel )

[Sridhar Santhanakrishnan]

On second thoughts, I would probably try and get some job at Hugh Hefner's mansion....

[Muse Ran]

every thing passing COULD$. Today JAVA and tomorrow SOME-X will come surely.. Nothing is permanent HERE. JAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaava

[Joe San]

I would learn physics!

[Monu Tripathi]

I'd go back to the farms...and maybe cultivate it!

Programmers would have found some Java-like language to express themselves; It still would have existed albeit under a different name (under cover)!!

Maybe I would learn the other language. My biggest doubt is, "Are there any programming language that as robust as Java ?"

If it was not because of Java, I wouldn't become :
- SCJP
- SCJA
- Java Instructor
- SCJD

After all, the "Java" word comes my country's Java coffee.

Jeffry Kristianto Yanuar (Java Instructor) SCJP 5.0, SCJA, SCJD (UrlyBird 1.3.2)

Oh gawd, I sure hope you would not literally replicate it. Some of the legacy stuff must go!!!

[Rajah Nagur]

It's hard to imagine............
