Am I the only one thinking that the new emperor, Java, is wearing no clothes? Bytecode? CPU instructions, methinks. Virtual machine? Ho hum! Is the search for code reusability so compelling that we have all lost our programming senses? Let's just admit that all this open-mouthed slavering at Scott McNealy's trough is merely one more gladiator round at the Coliseum. We loved it when IBM got its comeuppance, and now we, and McNealy, want Gates &
Co. to get theirs. And one day it will be Sun's turn when the next bright new thing comes along.
