Unlike Chrome, litlOS is focused on creating a new and better web experience for the home, so we don't have the usual browser interface, we have our own innovative UI. In conjunction with easel mode (litl's inverted-V position) and our growing cohort of litl channels (special apps t...
Java is sweeping across the world so that if you go to your boss and say, "I'll think I'll write it in Java," then your boss will be very impressed and she won't tell you, "Don't be silly; we don't program like that here."
Tim Berners-Lee, keynote at JavaOne, 1996

Certainly prescient and correct. And despite all the hand-wringing about Microsoft trying to kill / co-opt another technologies like they did with word processors, networking and web browsers - I''m referring to .NET / C#, of course - Linux and Java together could very well if not kill Microsoft off (mercifully for us all), at least establish a competitive equilibrium that has staying power.

In Weaving the Web in 1999, Berners-Lee recorded how excited he was about Java:
"Java opened up a wide world of potential Web applications that would be simple and inexpensive. Netscape immediately licensed Java, and incorporated it into its next version of Navigator. I was very excited because Java is an object-oriented language, a more powerful programming technique than I had used to write ''World Wide Web'' but had abandoned due to lack of standardization."
