If you enjoy Java and its programs, great -- I don't want to discourage you or fight with you. But the software that's selling Macs is not written in Java. None of it. Apple would be crazy to concentrate their resources on a language that they've tried twice before to exploit, to disastrous effect each time. (In the early days of Rhapsody Apple decided to port all of its bundled Obj-C apps to Java -- it found them so slow and buggy it ported them all back to Obj-C. Apple also decided to throw away the Obj-C WebObjects and port it to Java in 5.0. Haven't heard much about WebObjects lately, have you?) The Bluetooth team made the right decision to support Objective-C right out of the gate -- I was able to write a driver for a Bluetooth handheld scanner in a single day, without knowing anything about Bluetooth before that. -Wil Shipley Delicious Monster Software On May 9, 2004, at 2:26 AM, Bruce Hopkins wrote: Apple really needs to consider where it should focus its resources, because there are millions of Java programmers out there, compared to the thousands of Objective-C developers. _______________________________________________ bluetooth-dev mailing list | bluetooth-dev@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/bluetooth-dev Do not post admin requests to the list.
