Re:“I am literally losing sleep” over Java (1996) by vintermann on Thursday January 06, 2022 @11:57AM (#29826075)
I'd say it runs distant descendants of Java. The fact that Gates lost sleep not only over Java, but over JavaBeans is undeniably funny. JavaBeans delivered frustration and secure employment for a legion of developers.

Just a couple of weeks ago we got a reminder of how horrible early Enterprise Java was, with the Log4j exploit. The kind of thing everyone goes, "why would they think that was a good idea?" today, but the answer then was "almost everyone, certainly everyone who makes decisions..."
