Well, my real name is Joseph Ottinger. I've been writing about "the enterprise" and Java since around 2000, as editor for TheServerSide.com, Java Developer Journal, and writing multiple books on Java, as well as writing Java code for a lot of people for, well, decades. Java's doing all right. Java's "immortality" is still in question; it might be the next COBOL, but I don't pretend to know the future and I can see a world in which something eats Java's lunch TOMORROW, although I don't know what that something is yet.
