Is Java going to transform?

I have spent about ten years in Java development. It started off for me as a college initiative to get a neat website with a minimal search engine for the content. Like the conceptualization of the language itself my attempt was dry and without enough support, but eventually gave me an introduction to the software industry as its seen everywhere.

I started wandering on the library in those days to get more info about current trends starting off from JOOPS - Journal of object oriented programming which had developers from all walks of life entering into software like bees and then somehow i made up my mind to be part of this notorious discipline.

In campuses I still feel there is more passion to software development than in real world. Look through the web, its real.

Even my own attempt to write something about my experiences after a career spanning 10 years is a proof to the fact that there is more dry type of software development happening outside really.

But like how it all happened with Java all along if you are speaking about consensus and not writing a book for yourself!!!!
It will converge at some point and add value to people who follow and trying to follow through...

Back to tech..

I never felt something like Spring would ever happen in Java.

I have an authority to say this after spending more than a decade in Java and trying out to compile and make code work from 1.1.3 onwards.
The plethora of time I have spent in identifying application server issues, constructs and workarounds would never allow me to understand that this will change ever.
But it did...

Thats why I still have hope with Java that if you are speaking about consensus, you are speaking about the right language.....
