Java, the evolutionary dead-end

By carlfish on

In a previous post, I noted Paul Graham had described Java as an "evolutionary dead-end". After a lot of thinking about what this means, I've come to the conclusion that it's not really such a bad thing for Java to be. After all, the crocodile is an evolutionary dead-end too, but we don't hold that against it.
