BSF U turn again

That's quite a laugh.

Sun hijacking the Windows programmers to get them to program for Sun
workstations.

WABI, not an acronym. Yeah, tell me another one.

Oracle's confusing the language with the VM again

Authored by: xtifr on Wednesday, May 30 2012 @ 03:48 PM EDT

More (possibly deliberate) confusion between Java-the-language and the Java
Virtual Machine again. The API provides a compatible language between the two
systems, but the VMs are not compatible, and were never intended to be.

It's like complaining that Gnu C on Linux isn't compatible with MSC on Windows,
even though both can accept the same source code and create binaries that
operate identically. A binary created with Linux gcc won't run on Windows, but
that doesn't mean the language and APIs aren't compatible!
