No surprise? Java is pretty big stuff in the corporate world that Oracle operates in, and had to be part of why they bought Sun. You wonder just what they're doing to piss off people like this so much.

Don't read too much into any one departure. Gosling has been working on Oak/Java for how long?

By the end of the year the pattern will be clear; me, I'm watching to see if they keep Fortress and Guy Steele.
