Yep. I remember when coding in Java was considered rebellious. Used V1.0 for college disso and was grilled at interview about why. How times have changed. I've always imagined @errcraft giving this speech ;-) youtube.com/0NJl78Ab-qo?t=39

Fully agree. When Java was still young, I had an office at Sun Labs, very close to James' office. Great times...
