A few blogs/bloggers I often find to be both interesting and upto date on current technology trends are Steve Yege, Matt Goyer, Joel Spolsky...all three of these guys, I feel, are real fortunate to be right on top of that intellectual bell curve...

Fretting that I had to somehow get more familiar with the .NET architecture and what not, it was heartening to come across Steve's comment

...It's why no better languages have managed to supplant Java yet. Even if the language and its libraries are (on the whole) better than Java's, they also have to contend with the Java platform, and so far nobody's been able to touch it, unless maybe it's .NET, but who cares about .NET? Certainly not Amazon.com or Yahoo! or Google or any other important companies that I'm aware of.
