But that's got its pluses too - and it's eye opening to look at the technologies you've been working on for years as an end-user of them instead of as the creator of them.<br /><br />Sounds like you picked a good time.

The compiler guys left Sun and went to Google, and one of them wrote another basic compiler there - look for project "simple" on code.google.com. As for me I then repurposed the work and continued developing it for Ruby.<br /><br />Hi Peter, this does not in any way mean the authoring tool is dead; there is still a team in Grenoble working on it. It was by no means a one-man effort!<br /><br />And Chris, yes, the return code was deliberate. I'm leaving Oracle on good terms and I wish them and my many friends there all the best.Tor Norbyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00746799716822637466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283609923804350642.post-89544830022153317932010-09-24T14:02:40.607-07:002010-09-24T14:02:40.607-07:00Hmmmm, just as I was getting heavily entrenched in...Hmmmm, just as I was getting heavily entrenched in JaveFX and Netbeans...
