So I think I may have been in mourning last week. A little, at least. I’m going to miss Sun Microsystems. I wrote a big post full of doom and gloom for the Oracle acquisition. I speculated that this was the end of all that was good with Sun, all the extremely positive open source work it’s done, the end of its fantastic R&D efforts. I predicted the death of MySQL. I wrote all that, but I didn’t file it. Maybe I thought that if I didn’t, it wouldn’t come true. I truly hope it doesn’t.
Remembering Sun
