Seeing Pete Gorman's question prompted me to ask this different question.
Was told the other day that Java is "old hat". I believe there's a
propaganda campaign along these lines going on from the vendor of several
competing proprietary languages, but I don't think it's true. If my
understanding is correct Java in the browser, like any non-sandboxed
full-spectrum language, has proved to be a bad idea, but Java on the server
and for building rich apps is alive and well.
There may have been some clumsy handling by Java's new, highly litigious
owner, but suggesting it is "old hat" is just swallowing propaganda.
Opinions please?

JT
