SUN Microsystems We had the pleasure of having a quick chat with Sun's COO, Jonathan Schwartz, yesterday. We talked about a variety of things, including Java, Solaris, Red Hat and good ol' Unix.

How does that support your claim that GNU Classpath "moved to Red Hat's hands about a year ago because Red Hat needed an alternative to both Java and Mono." ?

You've so far failed to show any of

a) GNU Classpath is actually in Red Hat's hands now,
b) it was moved there from someone elses hands,
c) the move took place about a year ago,
d) the reason for a, b & c was Red Hat's need of an alternative to both Java and Mono.[1]

let alone the conjuction of these statements.

There is a list, please work it off, and show me the URLs confirming all those claims you make.

Linking to Havoc's blog about Graydon's findings on C# & Java being very, very similar or reasoning why Red Hat doesn't feel like having a deliberate competition with Novel on writing parts of GNOME is different languages doesn't seem to have to do with either a, b, c, or d.

Just concentrate on validating the 4 claims above you made, without the handwaving, please. ;)

cheers,

[1] Small temporal logic giveaway: since c occured a year ago according to your claims, you have to find a d that's at least that old, or it couldn't have been the reason for a ^ b ^ c.
