Personally, Open Source is my platform ... gcc, python, ruby, perl are my languages ... now with exciting new developments like Rubinius, Pypy, LLVM and Parrot.

Java always had a certain appeal to it, and I've given this platform 2 years of my life ... but the corporate stench just won't go away.

And here it is again, the owner of Java ... instead of redirecting resources to Java 7 which is a crippled release already, they are starting lawsuits.
