Episode The good ol’ days of building Java
Ryan sits down with Tim Lindholm, an early contributor to the Java language at Sun Microsystems, to chat about what it was like building one of the most popular programming languages ever at its inception, why it was strategically important for the Java team to create a cross-platform ABI to compete with Windows NT, and how applets were initially just an interesting demo.
Episode notes:
Watch the new documentary by Cult.Repo on YouTube to learn more about the early history of Java and the people who built it.
