On one of my rare visits to TSS, I
found a link to an interesting article on CNET about Java written in October
26, 1999. Java was about four years old by then. Quote from the article: "Java
may be one of the hottest development languages of the future, but it's getting a
mostly chilly reception now, according to a study. "
The drawbacks mentioned
back then:
Slow in desktops
Java standard not managed
by a open standards body
Scalability
"Write once, run anywhere"
not true
After
four years we still are stuck with the same problems (although point 3 is arguable,
its true with ATG Dynamo Server ;-) ).
