Nah a lot of people in the open source community are very happy that Sun bought MySQL. Java is an excellent product, so is netbeans 6.0 as an IDE and so is Glassfish as an app server. Now that they have the database, it is a complete and open source stack. Makes total sense for a lot of projects. Good thing is all the products are so lightweight!

Java is anything but lightweight. There's a good reason why Azureus uses the 80MB+ of RAM that it does when downloading a single file... Java has horrible internal memory management. It might be simple to code in, but in terms of overall performance there are plenty of better options.

Wait, java has memory management? is that an optional component? how do you enable it?

/sarcasm

only memory management ive seen out of java is where it crashes, clearing its memory then you get to restart it fresh.

but this could turn out to be good news for me since the main server I use mysql on these days runs on solaris.
