The future for Java is an unknown, says its creator James Gosling. But at least Sun Microsystems is owned by a software company - albeit one with a "colourful" reputation

Java creator James Gosling discusses his own future, and that of Java, after the merger between Oracle and Sun Microsystems finally completes. This was his only major interview at what might be the last Sun-led JavaOne event.
