Sunday June 27, 2004 Matt Ingenthron's Stream of Consciousness
Sunday June 27, 2004 Okay, so after a brief vacation to honor my Grandparents 70th anniversary, I'm now at JavaOne. Well there was a brief day or two of getting cerebral about software and Java with a bunch of people much smarter than me.
Now I'm sitting in an alumni round table thing-- two out of four of them were leading the cerebalism. :)
Topics so far for those that didn't find out about the event:
- Eliminating the XML configuring/building nightmare
- simplification
- thoughts about J2EE and simplification withthings like ejb 3 and hibernate
- Operator overloading and unsigned arithmetic
from the Q&A it seems the community still sees all of the things missing as something Sun shoud provide. Ironic given some of the other things people say sun should do with Java.
For instance,someone just asked about other languages on the JVM. And once again the answer is "please, go out and write them". (and I'd typed the paragraph entry before that comment was made)
That's my entry for now, more updates from the floor tomorrow.
Updated wirelessly from my Treo...
