Congratulations to Tim<\/a>\non his new position at Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

In an interview<\/a>\nhe gave about the move, he said something interesting that I’d like to comment on.\nWhen asked whether he’d looked into peer-to-peer technologies, he said;<\/p>\n\n

\nOnly trivially. That has some roots of its thinking in the old Linda [parallel programming coordination language] technology that [David] Gelertner did years and years ago, which I thought was wonderful and which I was astounded never changed the world. But I have been working so hard on search and user interface and things like that for the last couple of years that I haven’t had time to go deep on JXTA.\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Linda – or something very Linda-like – did<\/em> change the world;\nthe World Wide Web.<\/p>\n\n

I’d really love to get Tim’s views on Web services. He’s said a\nhandful of things on\nREST\/SOAP<\/a>,\netc.. , almost all of which suggest that he totally gets the value of the Web\n(unsurprisingly). But he’s also said\nsome things<\/a>\nwhich have me wondering whether he appreciates the extent of the mistakes\nbeing made with Web services.<\/p>\n\n

BTW, I wonder what’s going to happen on the TAG now that both Tim and\nNorm<\/a> are at Sun, given that the\nW3C process document\ndoesn’t allow<\/a>\ntwo members from the same company? Either way, it will be a big loss to the TAG. Bumber.<\/p>\n\n
