Lump of Links for April 11
,----[ Quote ]
| Whether you agree with Sun policing it or not, Java compatibility has served
| us all very well for over a decade. That includes being sure as a developer
| that all core classes are present on all platforms. Creating sub-sets of the
| core classes in the Java platform was forbidden for a really good reason, and
| it's wanton and irresponsible to casually flaunt the rules.

Google pours Java on code cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| Google has added the Java runtime to its App Engine, that (semi-)free service
| that lets you build and host web apps on Google's very own cloud distributed
| infrastructure.
|
| When App Engine was first introduced, almost a year ago to the day, it stuck
| with Python, a favorite among code-happy Google Oompa Loompas. But after
| countless request from developers outside the Mountain View Chocolate
| Factory, the platform has now embraced Java as well.

Study: Java still top programming language
,----[ Quote ]
| Java has its detractors, but according to a recent reading of the Tiobe
| Programming Community Index, it's still the dominant programming language,
| with little change in its overall popularity since August 2007. Runners up?
| C, (Visual) Basic, C++, and PHP.
