James Gosling: Sun Is Better Off At Oracle Than At IBM
22-06-2009
By Peter Judge
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.
In Part One of this interview, Gosling warned that Google's handling of Java on the Android platform could be heading for trouble, explained the Java Store and discussed various Java platforms in use.
What's your sense about the future of Java now that Sun is moving into a new era? It's pretty much impossible to say. Assuming the deal closes, it's now up to Oracle and Ellison [Larry Ellison, CEO of Oracle] and that whole crowd. I know pretty much as much as you do.
