Why?
Sun has dragged their feet making a JVM for X.
Assclowns.

You might implement your own, hold off on updating it to include a (significant) new feature because your license contract says you can, then get taken to court by Sun who says it doesn't say you can (even though it does). You'll then drop the JVM because it's a liability (i.e. Sun is a bloody great headache) and then Sun will take out adverts in newspapers saying that you shouldn't have dropped the JVM.

Sun controls Java with an iron fist.

Though of course, I can understand why a company wouldn't want to implement their own.You might implement your own, hold off on updating it to include a (significant) new feature because your license contract says you can, then get taken to court by Sun who says it doesn't say you can (even though it does).

But this is all just speaking hypothetically, right? ;)

I'm sure his red anus would be supporting Sun and the decicsions about Java till he blows out his balloon knot from all the porking.

It's actually funny in a way. Sun effectively just killed Java on Windows, and thereby lost the biggest market for it.

And the funniest thing is, now that they realized they killed Java, they are suing Microsoft to put it back, after they sued to take it out!
indeed.

I'm glad C# is easy to learn and program.
Tue Jun 4 13:38:23 2002
Well, that was plenty off topic. Par for the course. :D

However I did spend a long time learning Java.

C# is easy to learn and program. What I don't understand is people boo-hooing about VB and then saying C# is pretty good. If you're talking about comparable versions they are the same thing! Take the line enders and an extra paren or two here and there, a couple reserved word substitutions and you have VB, ready to run. I'm surprised there isn't a toolbar button in VS.Net to just switch over everything you've written in one language to the other.Well, that was plenty off topic. Par for the course. :D
The fact that the three largest software systems in BC are written in VB6 should be proof enough that you can use it for large scale deployment...
But noooo... only C++, no, better, J2EE on Sun E10K can sustain that load!
Put a couple of midrange Compaq as SQL7 servers and a farm of a couple of dozens of Dells for MTS and the tax management needs of a province are satisfied.
In Visual Basic.
Six point oh.

C# is far more extendable. Yes it is easy for C# to interpret VB, but it's not the same thing, as C# can also do Java if need be (as well as any other language).
Wed Jun 5 13:52:08 2002
I've not a clue what you're talking about with C# "interpreting" VB or Java. It looks similar to Java (right down to the /// doc comments, heh) and VB has been made similar to C#, but I don't see it interpreting either.
Wed Jun 5 14:22:34 2002
I keep forgetting that C# is not Visual.Net.
My bad.

I dunno. My brain's having a hard enough time keeping up with all the networking technology stuff I need/want to keep up with, as that's my primary job function.
University kinda burned me out WRT programming. Back in "my day," the BS in CompSci was damn near 92% programming, and it just kinda wore me out. They only offered (at the time) 1 single class on other topics like graphics, databases, and networking. Today it's completely different, and I kinda wish I was going to uni now full-time.
