No, this is very good news, I think. If done right. I'm excited. Java is a great language.

Apple: PLEASE SUPPORT COMPILING JAVA. Thanks. =)


You need to re-read the job description.

It talks about merging Obj-C and the Java VM. This is not the same thing as compiling Java. It is not a good thing either. Apple has sold developers on Obj-C now. This is not the time to make changes. Apple tried the "Java" flavor of Objective-C a few years ago and nobody cared. I can't see where making Obj-C as bloated and slow as Java is going to be a good thing.

Java may be a "great language", but the VM has proven itself unfit for Desktop Applications. If you're going to write Java, you're better of sticking to the Pure Java stuff, and ignoring Cocoa.

As scary as this job thread was (and some of the stands being taken in it), this jobreq scared me much more.
