James Gosling, father of the Java programming language, has finally found a job, nearly a year after he quit Oracle-owned Sun. Gosling’s latest employer happens to be Internet giant Google, which, very interestingly, has been accused of “knowingly, directly and repeatedly” copying Java code by Oracle.
“Through some odd twists in the road over the past year, and a tardis encountered along the way, I find myself starting employment at Google today,” the Java patriarch announced in a blog post Monday. But he didn’t reveal any details of his role at Google, claiming to be in the dark about “what I'll be working on.” However, he surely must have learned a lot by now.
While his new job is widely expected to have a lot do with Android for obvious reasons, there is a lot of speculation about the possible ways in which he could help Google in its legal battle against Oracle.
