Father of Java
Some programmers worry about being laid off before they turn 35, but some continue their careers until they are ready to retire at the age of 69.
Just a few days ago, James Gosling, the father of Java, announced on LinkedIn that he is ready to enjoy a well-deserved retirement.
This news quickly drew a lot of attention and nostalgic comments from many in the community.
Even many Chinese media outlets published articles to report on this legendary figure in the field of computing.
However, if you’re not a programmer, you might not be familiar with James Gosling.
Especially when you hear the title “Father of Java,” it’s easy to think of those so-called “famous teachers” online who boast titles like “Father of Java,” “Stepfather of Java,” or “Java Pioneer,” with credentials so inflated they could solve Africa’s drought issues.
