Coming back to my senses...

In case someone happens upon my last post not realizing that it was April Fools Day, I just want to take a quick moment to clear the air...

I think that Java/JVM is one of the most fascinating language / technology of today. There is an incredible amount of innovation happening in the arena, and I don't forsee this changing anytime soon. There has been plenty of other languages out there whose claims of being the "Java Killer", has been proven false over time. I am not knocking those other languages - there are some very attractive features of those languages. I am just acknowledging the fact that after those claims, Java/JVM is still around. Not to mention there are plenty of companies who have an incredibly amount invested in the Java/JVM technology.

For these reasons and more, I think that Java is going to be around for quite a while.

Goodbye Java....

That's right. I am done. Finished. The game is over.

I have finally decided to put my Java "badge of shame" down. I mean, let's face it, Java is not the Mercedes of Programming Languages anymore. There hasn't been a lot of innovation going on in the Java / JVM space for years now. I need to start working in a technology that is more relevant to the needs of my customers of today and tomorrow.

I just can't believe that I have wasted this much time of my career in Java. So to all, wish me luck as I venture on a new path in development, away from Java...
