☞ Java’s Future

  • Great explanation from Mark Wielaard of how the effectiveness of the OpenJDK community in dealing with the Double security problem was degraded by poor communication.
  • More of Dave Neary’s wisdom, this time on the key open-by-rule metric of community roadmaps.
  • Excellent analysis from Stephen O’Grady of why Java is nowhere near as dead as some other analysts would like you to believe – “rumours of my death are much exaggerated”. This was the well-received talk Stephen gave at FOSDEM.
