Feedback / Re: Oracle to buy Sun for $9.50 a share
« on: April 21, 2009, 10:33:01 am »
I like Sun and overall I like the things they make a do(mostly JSP script was bad). But almost everything after Java release was very non friendly. They didn't seem to understand how to market for people rather than marketing for themselves. They in all honsetly forgot about the people than the product. It's sad that this is happening, but it's also not unexpected.
They never solved the JRE speed issue. Applets were fine, but they were so slow to load. They really should have designed some form of minimum JApplet RE for browsers. Instead 70mb isntalls for a JRE is rather large without much useful web stuff.
JavaFX is a good idea, but it's built on the 70mb JRE. So what's the point. And the JRE consumer edition I never really saw much of. I think Sun should have provided something that Flash didn't. A true extension to webpages rather than just an additional java layer. Essentially making a proper Java Script rather than the kamak? kemack? or whatever script JS is based on.
