And from this blurb from his former company:
http://www.codefab.com/company.html
"As of July 2003 Bill has taken a position at Apple Computer, working
on WebObjects and Persistence Tools. He remains a friend and advisor
to CodeFab. We wish him all the best at his new position."
So it looks like Bill was hired by Apple, but whether it was to enhance
the Java EOF or to recreate the Objective-C EOF, or just work on
WebObjects, only Apple and Bill will know. ;)
