One development platform still in beta does not seem to me as "many alternatives". What other languages/development platform are in your opinion concurrent to Java? I do not say that Java is the only language. Other languages are all powerful in their domains, like C/C++ to write OS's and core applications like the Office suites and SGBDs. Likewise, developers prefers HTML templates like JSP and XSL rather than writing everything in Java, use SQL queries instead of writing flat files. And do not forget either highly specialized languages (i.e. for AI) or simple scripting languages (JavaScript, highly used on the thin clients commonly named "web browsers"). -- Fr�d�ric Lachasse (ECP 86) flachasse@qwest.net
