Thanks for your input.
But i'm still thinking that there's something wrong with Java. I
particularly don't understand why there are not so much Java applets
on the Web pages, where the portability of Java is the most efficient.
There were more applets 2 years ago.
I'm just telling that there are signs that the momentum is slowing,
not that Java suddenly disappeared.I had many relatives trying to hack
some Java code 2 years ago. But they all stopped. Perhaps for
different reasons.
Instead, Linux is now under the spotlight and i can tell you that it
sells like hell. Around me, they are all trying to install a Linux
distrib (at home and at work) and trying to master the GNU tools.
Intranet servers based on Linux are growing like mushrooms.
On another front, it seems that M$ has stopped all Java developments
and is pushing VC++ 6.0 very hard.
So, like Ada, Java will have to find its niche.
