Oracle Buys In Memory Data Grid Leader Tangosol

Woaw. Nice job Cameron! (the Tangosol founder and CEO).
What is interesting is that Tangosol is, in their own words (which
can be found on Tangosol's website): "Java, pure Java!".
Java.
It really shows a fact: Java has taken the real-world
by storm (Oracle isn't very concerned by anything else
than the real-world)
FedEx (they have more Java developers than Sun), eBay,
GMail, Adwords... And so many others.
And about every single bank (and consumer bank) in the
world is now migrating to Java.
In a way it is good to see to see an "somewhat OO" language
to be so widely used.
Java "the virtual machine" is pretty bullet-proof and very
performant (despite popular belief)... And keeps only getting
faster and faster.
But Java "the language" could have been much better though :-/
Oh well, this is a language the real-world we'll be stuck
with for decades to come (just like there is still COBOL
in production in many banks, there will Java in production
for years and years).
Could have been better. Could have been worse.
Still, it's about RDBMS (Oracle) and Java (Tangosol), what
does comp.object has to do with it !?
I mean, 99% of Java programs out there don't have much
to do with OOP...
;)
