During the last days I've been trying do decide which language I should pick up as my main tool, because I need to enter the job market. I don't want to adopt a cosed proprietary plataform, so C# on .NET is out of the question; I'd like to go with Java, since its platform is both powerful and very convinient for cross-plataform deployment. Sun's OSS strategy is also a strong appeal, since I'm in great debt to OSS, but withtout most of the 'unlikely' features, I'm going to look elsewhere, and C++x0 is the strongest candidate, right now. I guess Java is living up to its fame, and that's sad . Boy, did those predictions make me sad.

I've been gravitating more toward Groovy day by day anyway. Regarding closures, I never really liked most of the proposals. I’ve been gravitating more toward Groovy day by day anyway.

He talks about closures a little. Well, I don’t think anyone from Sun would listen to me. :) But, you can listen to this JavaPosse interview with Danny Coward (who would create the Java SE 7 JSR).

I'd love to know what they make of this whole closures debate, if they are even aware of it? Hi Alex, I don’t suppose you happen to have the ear of someone at Sun.
