     @meeper Just remember, in a future not too different from ours, it would have been 3 billion devices running Tcl instead

     @meeper Most of the bad in Java wasn't even his fault, it's just how the market received it. Sun middle management had a habit of hiring architecture astronauts around that time (the kinds of people who made Taligent the rousing success it is today) and they latched onto Java like a fish to water.
