I fucking hate Oracle. Done nothing but ruin Sun tech ever since the buyout.

>>59462944
They had a great logo.

>>59462944
they were going to bring a general purpose commercial UNIX to the masses that would have been capable of standing up to Windows in terms of market and userland compatibility

macOS is still a niche to this day.

Bunch of hippies

They're tech was good tho

They created Java the best programming language ever.

>>59462944
No.
Slowlaris is slow, Java is shit, workstations were killed by commodity x86 shit, ZFS has retarded licensing, and the rest of their legacy is being wiped out by Oracle's incompetence.
Sun failed at everything.

>>59462944
It was run by people that cared.

>>59462944
Because they designed VAX and Alpha.

>>59464455
Solaris have real-time capabilities though. The only redeeming feature.

>>59464622
Wrong company, retard.

>>59462944
Fuck Sun. Java sucks, they should have adopted and pushed Smalltalk instead of this braindamaged abomination.

>>59464332
macOS is far more popular than Solaris ever was.

>>59464395
>Java
>the best programming language ever
Only if you are a brain-dead suit.

>>59466138
I never said anything about popularity
I was talking about what could have been with a proper UNIX OS that would have catered to market compatibility on the level that Windows does in the present.

macOS is a niche OS for a few pieces of hardware that maintains a relatively closed ecosystem.

>>59462944
They wrote the CDDL to be explicitly incompatible with the GPL. I'm glad Oracle is doing their best destroying their legacy.
