Heavy replenishment

    imageJames Gosling ( James Gosling ) - the creator of the Java language, wrote in a personal blog about his transition to the staff of Google.

    If suddenly you are not up to date, I’ll make it clear: Last August, Oracle filed several lawsuits against Google. According to Oracle, "Google has repeatedly, intentionally and directly violated company patents in its Android operating system." All of the patents in question relate in one way or another to Java, a former part of Sun Microsystems that Oracle completely absorbed last year.

    Now the case is taking an interesting turn, because the presence at the trial of the creator of the programming language, which Google is accused of violating the agreements on, may turn things around a bit for Oracle. What Gosling will do on Google is not yet known, according to him: "little by little, diluting with large doses of grumpy shredding."

    However, rumors suggest that Gosling is likely to be busy working on improving Android, in the light of all the events and the ongoing trial in the case of Oracle vs. Google

    It's funny, but lately Gosling is the third historical figure who has replenished the personnel arsenal of the search giant. Vinton Surf, who led the team that created the TCP / IP protocol in the 70s, joined Google a little earlier than Tim Bray, the creator of XML, a markup language that developed the currently popular formats like RSS, ATOM, and XHTML.

    Google, which has everything in its garage, from homing cars to a virtual copy of the earth’s surface, seems to have decided to gather under its wings all the light of the founding fathers of modern standards and technology.
