Java Trap, 2010 Edition
I really wish more effort was put into D... I think that's really the best path to freedom vs Java and .Net...  I wish Nokia would would adopt D because nobody wants to use C++ and Python is slow...<p>I just saw this on twitter...<p><a href="http://twitter.com/casperbang/status/27134952930" rel="nofollow">http://twitter.com/casperbang/status/27134952930</a><p>"Java has an official open source reference implementation, but is not free. C# has only unofficial open source implementations, but is free!"<p><a href="http://www2.research.att.com/~bs/bs_faq.html#Java" rel="nofollow">http://www2.research.att.com/~bs/bs_faq.html#Java</a><p>"Java isn't platform independent; it is a platform. Like Windows, it is a proprietary commercial platform. That is, you can write programs for Windows/Intel or Java/JVM, and in each case you are writing code for a platform owned by a single corporation and tweaked for the commercial benefit of that corporation."
