I worked at Google while he was there. It was common knowledge that he did about nothing while there. He wrote a document detailing why Google's development practices were broken, and left in under a (if I remember) year. Again, if I remember, he filed no bugs, committed no code, and wrote no design documents.

Interesting, I know he has been at a few places since then, wonder if his output has picked up? Getting into Java was my first taste of programming and I loved it, thought really highly of Gosling and still do. I just had a friend tell me this morning "heh Java is so dying." I swear I hear this every few months, but I fail to see it going anywhere. Maybe I'm not looking hard enough?
I found an article that stated he was only at Google for 5 months.
