A sad day - Oracle buys Sun.

I, like many others, only hopethat Oracle will continue all the open source initiatives of Sun and most importantly the Java platform - wishful thinking indeed.

The future of Java / J2EE app servers  suddenly looks very bleak. God knows how fast/slowly will Oracle kill Java, MySQL for its benefits. Day is not very far where applications using java/weblogic/oracle on Solaris servers will have unique advantage over any other combination of using Java platform.

May be it is time for the open source community to create a new programming language and a new open source platform!
