On Java One and shark jumping

After reading Tim Bray’s description of Java One, I’m even more un-interested in Java (which is not to say anything bad about Mr. Bray himself). Call me cynical, but when a company spends that much money to generate hype… well, shouldn’t people just use an environment because it works? Or do all languages do this? Have I been missing the annual C extravaganza?
Anyway, yet another sign. If it weren’t for Clojure I’d uninstall the JDK altogether.
In related conference news, I’ll be at MeshU 2008 in two weeks; hopefully followed by a stop at Five Fathoms.
