To be fair, Java existed before a lot of modern standards and its primary goals were to be fully object-oriented (because every project manager was convinced that this was the best approach at the time) and cross-platform, so they kind of HAD to rewrite everything. Everything needed a Java-friendly OO interface and had to run on the JVM on a bunch of different platforms spanning everything from Solaris servers to embedded devices. In hindsight it’s easy to say that this was an overly ambitious project with vague goals but it made sense in 1995 when technology was revolutionizing everything and creating new domains and markets. |
