Let Java go!

Linux Today has an interesting article entitled - Community: Beyond an Open Source Java.

Ahem... Scott, are you listening?

Being a former Sun employee, who had argued for this since OAK was renamed Java (well, just about;-), I couldn't agree more with the arguments expressed in the article especially the ones about J2EE complexity and dumping SunONE. Actually, it surprises me to see the arguments about profit from Java... Java has pretty much always been a loss-leader at Sun.

Bottom-line, definitely worth a read.
