Ummm.. Standardization means standardization by a public comittee like ISO
or ANSI.  While Sun has made a lot of hoopla about making Java an ISO
standard, it's not even really begun yet.

Who said anything about MS?  The fact is that Java can change at Sun's whim.
That's not a standard, nor is it something you want to base a long term
project on.

Are you willing to bet your next 20 year project on that?  Suppose your (or
others) life depended on it.  Java hasn't even been around long enough to
prove it's stability over time.  I'm not saying that it's not stable, I'm
simply saying that it isn't old enough to get valid statistics.

Real time doesn't mean a lot of things.  It has a pretty well defined
meaning.  It means the ability to react to external time-critical events as
they happen.  For instance, you don't want a fly-by-wire aircraft avionics
system to have to wait 150 ms's to process that a wind gust has just pushed
a plane going Mach 7 downwards.

in many applications faster is always better, as long as accuracy is also
present.  You might be surprised at how many time-critical applications
there really are.  An ATM network might not seem like it's speed sensitive,
but it is.  When processing millions of transactions an hour speed is of
very great importance.

Don't get caught in the trap of thinking that every application is a
stand-alone application running on a single user PC.

Both of which do not exist in practical form yet.

So, tell me.  If you were about to start a 15 year project in which you
cannot go back and rewrite code because of compiler changes, and you were
betting your own personal fortune on it's success (if not your life).  Would
you still choose Java?

The standard was only ratified last year (1998).  It takes time for
implementations to match the standard.  Yes, It's true that the standard has
been roughly static for about 2 years, but most compiler vendors didn't want
to take the chance of it changing yet again (like it's done several times
before when it was "almost done").  The standard is done, it's now a matter
of vendors implementing it.

There is no international standard for Java.  Java is what Sun says it is,
and that's not a standard.

And what do you do when all you have are people that know the tricks of one
language and can't find any "good" programmers?
