Heavy replenishment

James Gosling ( James Gosling ) - the creator of the Java language, in a personal blog wrote about his transition to Google.

If suddenly you are not in the know, I’ll clarify: last August, Oracle filed several lawsuits against Google. According to Oracle, "Google has repeatedly, intentionally and directly violated the company's patents in its Android operating system." All the patents in question are one way or another related to Java, which was part of Sun Microsystems, which Oracle fully absorbed last year.

Now the case gets an interesting turn, because the presence at the trial of the creator of the programming language, in violation of the agreements on which Google is accused, can slightly turn the tide for Oracle. What will Gosling do at Google is still unknown, in his words: “a bit of everything, diluting with large doses of shrewd squire”.

However, rumors suggest that Gosling is likely to be busy working on improving Android, in light of all the events and ongoing trials on the Oracle vs Oracle case. Google.

It's funny, but lately Gosling is the third historical figure, who has replenished the personnel arsenal of the search giant. Vinton Cerf , who in the 70s led the team that created the TCP / IP protocol, joined Google a little earlier than Tim Bray, the creator of XML, a markup language that developed such popular formats as RSS, ATOM and XHTML.

Google, which has everything in its garage, ranging from homing cars to a tool for virtual copying of the earth's surface, seems to have decided to gather under its wings the entire world of the founding fathers of modern standards and technology.
