I guess my post wasn't clear. I'm not saying Java's dead - in general languages that gained wide use don't ever really die, or maybe it just takes a long long time for them to die. A lot of people are using Java, for sure. It just doesn't have any of the brand momentum it had in it's hey day. A lot of it's promise has gone unfulfilled. Back in the day, everyone was using Java, you weren't a dotcom if you weren't using Java. Now? A whole lot less so. Hmm.. I guess my post wasn’t clear.

So I think its premature to call Java dead. They way I look at half the top internet retailers run on a java platform the other on a Microsoft platform.

People still use it, for sure, but there are several other games in town now. No, it’s been a long time since Java ruled the roost, sadly for Sun.

Applets have been non-existent for eons but I wouldn't point to that as their web legacy. Problem with Java was that it was always felt a bit unwieldy to use, especially for smaller sites. I haven't used Java in years so I'm not sure if that still holds true. Or maybe I just didn't use it enough to get really familiar with it. Doesn’t Java still rule the enterprise roost?
