Reading a blog of such high quality as
Chris Brumme where he is
dissecting CLR internals in such depth (for example
asynchronous operations) that it brings a joy to any engineers heart even if
it is Java enthusiast.
I just can not stop to wonder where are Java blogs of such caliber that goes
into such details and are written not by users but by creators.
Java.net seems to be under control of "How-To"
writers (exactly
opposite to what Chris is doing), evangelists, SUN enthusiasts, and
marketing specialists. Not exactly what I would call "The Source For Java(TM)
Technology" and engineers seems to be lacking sorely from
"a diverse group of engineers,
researchers, technologists, and evangelists at Sun Microsystems" that was
supposed to propel that site.
So where is SUN hiding all these Java engineers?
Please let me know if somebody knows where to find them ...
UPDATE: maybe other companies that also work on Java are more open?
What about IBM, BEA, or other leading Java companies... ? Do their
engineers blog (or are allowed to)? One has to admit that Microsoft seems
recently much more open and interesting place than ever before ...
And unfortunately James Gosling
posts about Zen and his
grandmother even though very inspiring does not count as in-depth technical
insights ...). And yes, I am impressed that this blog has now
RSS feed (took only few
weeks?).
