I apologize if my writing inferred that Java's decline was inevitable, it was not my intention, rather my intention was to point out that Java's dominance is related to some factors that are now changing and may give room to other options. It may or it may not, I generally try to stay away from predictions because there are many variables that can affect the outcome of the future. As such I was not trying to predict the rise of alternative or the fall of Java just merely stating the point that SaaS will allow vendors behind the service curtain a lot more flexibility it what they choose to provide those services.

Fair enough, I enjoyed your comment overall, a lot of good points. Maybe I read too much into it. Apologies if I did!

No it did read like I was predicting it's demise, it was not my intent but it did read like it. Thanks for the kind words, I enjoy participating here and it is always nice to have someone say they enjoy my contributions.
