Redhat distro has 3 C-compilers! Sun,don't ruin Java this way

After Sun's experience with Microsoft ripping off Java to create C# (c-sharp), I'm glad they aren't allowing pollution of the programming language landscape. Redhat could learn a lesson here.

After watching Redhat's open source-ness cause THREE C-compilers to proliferate AND SHIP with the same release of Redhat Linux (with all the nasty library mismatches from release to release caused by compiler proliferation..and with no backward compatibility between Linux revs)...do you really want Java to follow the same path? Exactly how many language extension gurus exist in the world to justify TEN, FIFTEEN, or THIRTY versions of Java! I don't want this! Linux will have more than just an increasingly buggy kernel!

Three 3 compilers is quite enough for one release...(thanks for nothing, Redhat!)

Thanks goes to Sun for maintaining consistency with the Java language!

(and no thanks to Microsoft for its C# or trying otherwise to hijack Java the first go-around.)
