Finally James Gosling resigned! Resigned from his position of CTO of Oracle’s Client Software Group. I have been following him since my start of the programming career.
He reasoned that resignation, ‘As to why I left, it’s difficult to answer: just about anything I could say that would be accurate and honest would do more harm than good.’
Off course, it was not surprise to us since most of the people expecting that sooner or later. He wrote the blog post on his blog, about his resignation from Oracle on 2nd April, 2010. After the acquisition of Sun Microsystems, Oracle is doing Sun more harm than good. The deal was loss making for both Sun and Oracle but the future after the deal could have been a lot better.
Many of the people commented earlier on Oracle’s management. James Gosling follows a number of other noted ex-Sun employees out the door since Oracle’s purchase of the company was finalized in January, including CEO Jonathan Schwartz, and XML co-inventor Tim Bray.
Even Tim Bray tweeted that he was “astounded that Gosling held on so long.”
Anyways, I feel it’s a good move. James has not given just Java to the community, it is complete age.
“The hardest part is no longer being with all the great people I’ve had the privilege to work with over the years. I don’t know what I’m going to do next, other than take some time off before I start job hunting.”
We are waiting for next revolutionary age, James! Don’t take a rest! And Best Of Luck!!
