Meh. It was in contravention of contracts that Microsoft signed in good faith. Then Sun and Microsoft went to court and fought that battle for a DECADE. They were even going to fly me back to the USA from where I was living in Budapest to testify... then I never heard another word from them. Then, Sun and Microsoft settled. Then Oracle bought the dregs of Sun at a garage sale one day in Silicon Valley, and now... well... we have applications running in web browsers built by Google and Apple.... that run software languages that were designed and written out of spite.
This adds a layer to my understanding of reality. Something so ubiquitous and underlying a lot coming out of two big guys brawling over who will screw the other up harder, better, faster, stronger. But wait: you say "languages", plural? What are the other ones?
Well, ASP, .NET, and C# are all attempts to do the same thing, just generations apart. And they are all built upon the same wrong-headed Microsoft thinking: "Lock 'em into our platform and they'll never escape!" It's totally immaterial nowadays. But there is some history there, and us grumpy old men still hold grudges against perfectly capable languages (C#) because of the fires they were forged in.
