Java Governance in Shambles

It is sad to see Oracle misusing, abusing and not even giving Java a second thought and shipped a Java 7 out of their doors knowing of a major bug in it.

The governance of Java in the hands of Oracles only causes JAVA TO FALL INTO SHAMBLES !!!

As a developer using mainly Java, I am sad to see how Java is treated. Oracle refused to give-in and heed the community and soon Java simply becomes more badly governed and more troubles would arise from it.

A good backup for any developer / programmer is to have a backup language in an event your main language simply sucks (Java for my case.... and I am now learning abit of other languages to pick a backup language to move over abit).

No Java on Mac

Bye, bye Java for Mac. Java lost a stronghold in Mac. I think Mac may want to try and do the same to every other languages except C / C++ which they need to use and obviously HTML 5 and AppleScript stays the staple part of a Mac's 'diet'.

No more Java applets, dev, IDEs, software, jars ...etc on Mac.

How about holding a funneral for Java on Mac ?
