ESR is still trying to pick a fight with Sun:
If Mr. Phipps truly thinks "Java is everywhere" Sun may be setting itself up for a rude shock. I did some research on language use patterns for my most recent book; it revealed that Java is not only still a minority language in the open-source community but that it has not gained significant mindshare there since 1997. Given the adoption curve of open source this is much worse news for Sun than it looks like ââ¬â it suggests that in the fastest-growing and most dynamic part of the software industry, Java has lost the edge.If anyone is in for a rude awakening, it's esr, who fails to understand the meaning of disjoint sets.
