| James Gosling: For Ruby or Ajax or SOA, it's NetBeans
|
| Rich Seeley, a news writer for SearchWebServices.com writes, "What does
|
| the Father of Java think of the emerging interest in rival languages
|
| such as Ruby? A lover of diversity, James Gosling says he's played
|
| around with Ruby enough to understand the attraction, but his heart
|
| belongs to Java and what Sun Microsystems Inc. is pulling together
|
| under the NetBeans tent. He understands why Ajax coders are frustrated
|
| with JavaScript, but he says the answer will be found in NetBeans."
