[The Java Posse] Re: James Gosling goes to Google

You know, rather than just enjoy his name value and geek cred, Google getting Dr. Gosling to get Go moving could be an intriguingly disruptive idea. Go seems like the only compiled language with any new thought and effort behind it (*), which could be valuable on the device. Maybe Go could become t

I could guess it might mean that he could be working on the Dalvik VM. That would be like a step back in time going back to when he was involved with the JVM. I would expect Oracle to be pretty annoyed if the individual associated with the creation of Java goes over to work on Dalvik especially gi
