Comments on: A closer look at Java

James Gosling gets down to the nitty-gritty on Sun's software and assesses the open-source odds.

Revisionist History

"In the early 1990s, Gosling initiated and led a project code-named Green that eventually became Java." This is an inaccurate statement to say the least. It was initiated in 1990 by one guy, and lead by another guy, neither of whom Sun likes to talk about any more. Java has been an incredible contribution to the industry and it is right to laud James for his fifteen years of work on it. However, it is simply fraud to attempt to erase the contribution of the other early instigators and leaders.

Why doens't Sun like to talk about them?

Why doesn't Sun like to talk about them? Was there some sort of internal conflict there?
