And come to think of it, now that Java is open source too, I don't think it's going to spiral into extinction at all. One of those comments above (anonymous too) is right. Java is just way too ubiquitous.johnVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06497086605831347026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3368502312669227864.post-69352828965120673272008-11-17T14:30:00.000-08:002008-11-17T14:30:00.000-08:00Another thought: if Sun goes down, will they pull ...Another thought: if Sun goes down, will they pull MySQL down with them?

The difference is that in bad times people are willing to pay less, and they will want make sure that the person they intend to pay have the proper experience.
