Java

[Edward Tisdale]

I personally think that Java became a language and that it was made by Sun
Microsystems
and since Microsoft had Visual Basic which is a MS-only language that Sun
ought to have the rights to
the name Java. J++ and j# are not in their own territory. Microsoft should
play like real businessmen
and since they already have VB and are always making new versions that they
should discuss with Sun the
possibility of using what they mean J++ and J# to be not with the Java name
but as new entries into
VB code. They should then allow Sun to find something in VB that might be
valuable for Java. Is this not
why C/C++ were originally named (maybe not by history but by logic)?All developers
come from school and
are these students are the real source of all of this new code and we need
them to have the chance that if
they came up with any good code that it would not be Sun or Microsoft.
