James Gosling attended the Sun Global Education Symposium in New York last week (World Wide Education & Conference), where the father of Java gave a speech and answered questions.
When asked about the current threat to Java, Gosling gave the answer, "PHP and Ruby are very good systems, but they work as scripting languages and are limited to the Web page area." ”
When Gosling talked about C # in Microsoft, "Once we were worried that they would do something creative-now it's hopeless to see them focusing on a platform." ”
"PHP can simplify the product because it's 100% aimed at the web," But for Java, he says, "We have the art of balance--the simplification and the power of the win." ”
Finally, James Gosling said: "Any discussion of Java relative to PHP, Ruby, or other languages is meaningless, and we are also using other languages, and you can use PHP or Python and other languages to work with Java." Many people do that. ”
