救救孩子

本来不想骂人！但首页上一篇评论让我很生气。这个编辑曲解了原作者的意思，并且使用了一个无耻的新闻标题。


看看原文吧:
OneSunYear

Boring Isn’t Always Good So, what do you think about when you think about Sun? Computers, networks, operating systems... and Java. There’s the problem, because Java is boring. Java is the safe choice. Java is COBOL. You won’t get fired for choosing Java. Banks use Java. Telephone companies use Java. CIOs like Java.

And that’s not good enough. I think Sun, to compete successfully against IBM’s Global Services infantry and Microsoft’s Windows/Office entrenchments, has to get out in front and exercise thought leadership. We brought the computer that assumes a network to market, and did well. We brought the filesystem that spans the network to market, and did well. We brought the Unix operating system with commercial documentation and support to market, and did well. We brought RISC processors to market, and did well. We brought a clean minimal Object-Oriented infrastructure to market, and did well. All of those things are conventional wisdom now, but when Sun first did them, they were way out in front.

And Java isn’t out in front. Let’s be clear: I’ve been a software professional for twenty years and I think that Java, supported by modern XP/Agile-Development methods and a good IDE, offers a combination of quality, productivity, and openness that nothing else comes close to. But I’m sorry, it’s not new and it’s not exciting. J2EE isn’t either. EJBs aren’t either. Generics and autoboxing and variable-length argument lists are good things, but they’re not exciting.

So Sun obviously isn’t going to walk away from Java, but if we’re going to exercise thought leadership at any level above base OS/Network infrastructure, it probably won’t be because of J2SE1.6 or whatever they decide to call it.
原作者的主要意思是现在的Java已经不是很新的东西，已经无法带给大家惊喜了（Sun的创新带来过很多的惊喜）。

尤其是这个评论中关于Java is boring 的注解：Java语言是一种丑陋、令人厌烦的编程语言，在某种意义上类似于COBOL。
WTF。

原文意思：Java语言是有点厌烦，是因为它无处不在，无处不可用，这类似于COBOL（商业上用的最广的语言）。

如果一个评论者本身没有技术背景，他就不应该来评论技术文章！

我简直要吼两句：
