JaZz iN KyiV

This weekend I’ve been enjoying jazz music at Kyiv Jazz Fest 2010. The most fascinating thing is that you can find that trend you like.

On Saturday Oregon and Lee Ritenour made a great show. In all cases it is better to see and to listen rather than to read. In short: Oregon is style, improvisation. Lee Ritenour is splash of blues. Just look at them:

Is Java Still WORA?

According to James Gosling interview on Hadoop summit Oracle will definitely concentrate on server side platform enhancements to bring more safety and efficiency to J2EE world. Sounds good. http://www.osp.ru/news/articles/2010/27/13002964/

At the same time focus of mobile vendors is moving to developing their application platforms by their own. In this area the future of Java is not clear.

I see the reasons for that since there is no a five star solution that will satisfy everyone. Still it could be not efficient and will definitely split up technologies.

Nevertheless sooner or later technologists will come up with an idea of having a common runtime. The world moves spiral.
