Chapter 1004 JAVA has a big problem(1/2)
Back at the hotel, Fang Chen was going to take a short rest and fly back to China on the Qingtian. He had already applied for the route and everything in advance. As a big donor to Clinton, the Federal Aviation Administration still had to give him this face.
.
Furthermore, as I said before, the United States serves capitalists, and the United States is also the center of wealth in the world and the country with the most wealthy people in the world.
As the number of wealthy people increases, there will naturally be more private jets. Processing route applications is even more commonplace for the US Federal Aviation Administration.
It's just that the US Federal Aviation Administration has never processed an application for a route to China, which is a bit special, so Fang Chen needs to use his face.
But Fang Chen took a shower and just lay down when Wu Maocai suddenly opened the door and came in. He said with a strange expression: "Master Jiu, Taylor and Gosling are here, and they are already in the lobby of the hotel."
After hearing this, Fang Chen couldn't help but look at the sky in surprise. The moon didn't come out from the east. Why are these two here?
Taylor, as the head of Qingtian's foreign office, and Gosling, as the father of JAVA, logically say that if he hadn't summoned them, these two would not have come to see him, let alone ran directly to the hotel without saying a word.
hall.
Fang Chen had a bad feeling, something must have happened, and it was not a big deal.
After thinking for a while, he couldn't think of anything, so Fang Chen was too lazy to think about it. He waved his hand and asked Wu Maocai to call Taylor and Gosling up.
As soon as the two of them came up, they saw Taylor first showing an embarrassed smile at Fang Chen, then lowering his head and looking at the carpet motionlessly. If he hadn't known better, he would have thought there was some pretty girl on the carpet.
Why else would Taylor keep staring at the carpet.
Gosling, on the other hand, seemed a little angry. He crossed his arms on his chest and looked at the ceiling angrily, motionless and silent.
Looking at the two brothers, one looking at the sky and the other looking at the ground, Fang Chen couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing Fang Chen smile like this, Taylor and Gosling couldn't stand their posture for a moment, and even felt a little at a loss. They had to smile again in an attempt to resolve the embarrassment.
"Okay, it's all happened in front of me. Let's talk about what happened between you two and what conflicts occurred." Fang Chen said calmly.
But who knew that Taylor and Gosling still had no intention of talking, and even poked each other secretly.
Seeing this, Fang Chen said angrily: "If you two have something to say, talk quickly, and if you have something to say, hurry up. I'm going to leave on a plane soon, and I don't have time to do ink with you two."
Taylor glanced at Gosling and saw that he was still looking like he was refusing to speak. He sighed helplessly, and then said to Fang Chen respectfully: "Gosling told me two days ago that JAVA cannot be used for two months.
Released at the upcoming Silicon Valley Technology Conference.”
"Can't launch at Silicon Valley technology conference, why?"
Fang Chen couldn't help but his face changed slightly, and he finally understood why these two people ran in front of him.
I have talked about the importance of JAVA a lot before, and he was even prepared for it. But now he is told that he cannot release it. Isn't this a joke?
Goslin glanced at Fang Chen's face, his heart skipped a beat, and he lowered his arms in an instant, and said honestly: "I think JAVA is not mature yet. If it is put into the Silicon Valley Technology Conference, it will not be able to achieve what you want."
The desired effect cannot be a blockbuster."
In front of Taylor, he could argue or even fight with him, and it didn't matter to him. Taylor was only in charge of him in name anyway.
In fact, Taylor could not decide whether it was his position or the personnel and finance of the institute. They were all under his control. In his eyes, Taylor was just a nagging old woman, or a nanny responsible for logistics.
But in front of Fang Chen, a serious boss, he still didn't dare to make a mistake, because his life was different now and he wanted to be more respectful to Fang Chen.
To be honest, ever since Fang Chen established the Qingtian JAVA Research Institute for him, which he took charge of, he has been like a duck in water. He is responsible for all the money and personnel he needs.
Calling the shots was exactly as he imagined in his dream.
The only thing that was different was probably the working hours. He originally thought that when he could take charge of a project, he would not stipulate the researchers' working hours. As long as the work could be completed, they could work at any time. Go to work, what time do you get off work, and how many days do you get off work in a week?
But when it was his turn to take charge, he wished that these brats would work twelve hours a day. As for taking a vacation, it was just a dream. What they were undertaking now was a great undertaking that benefited the computer industry and the whole world.
How can you rest casually when there are things in the world?
He himself has lost count of the few weeks he has worked more than 80 hours a week.
Fang Chen frowned slightly. Goslin, the father of JAVA, said that JAVA was immature, which was really troublesome.
"What kind of immature method?" Fang Chen asked in a deep voice.
He actually does not expect JAVA to be a blockbuster, but once a cross-generational programming language like JAVA is born, it is destined to shine brightly and attract the attention of the world. It would be a pity if it has major flaws.
"As you know, JAVA has the advantages of simplicity, security, stability, cross-platform writing once, and running everywhere. But after nearly a year of development, I found that it is precisely because of maintaining JAVA's cross-platform functions and extreme scalability.
capabilities, so the complexity of the product has to be increased.”
"And the running speed of Java is achieved by using class resident memory, so the memory it uses in some cases is indeed the lowest performance-price ratio compared to the number of users..."
The more Gosling talked, the more he wilted, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
He can accuse Taylor of not knowing technology or programming languages, and being eager for success, but JAVA is his child, and there are still so many problems with JAVA that prevent it from being released as scheduled with Fang Chen. He is
The first person responsible is also the person who should be most ashamed.
"Then Gosling, can you tell me how to solve these problems?" Fang Chen tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly.
He more or less understood what Goslin meant just now. JAVA is too complicated to use, it is not streamlined, and it relies heavily on hardware resources.
He is a little troubled by the problems that JAVA is showing now. This is not the era of surplus hardware in later generations.
In this era when memory is measured in KB and hard disks are measured in MB, every KB is extremely important and cannot be wasted. Some software that occupies too many resources will basically face the fate of being abandoned.
This is also an important reason why once Microsoft integrated office software into the operating system and became compatible with the WPS format, it instantly occupied the office software market.
Computers at this time cannot accommodate two software with the same function.
"Optimize! Upgrade!"
"There is no problem with the foundation of JAVA, and there is no problem with the thinking, but it is too young, so it is not perfect. I believe that if I am given enough time, even if I cannot solve all the problems in JAVA, it will greatly reduce the user's inconvenience.
The obstacles and inconveniences encountered in use, when the time comes, the disadvantages of JAVA compared with other programming languages will definitely no longer be a problem." Goslin clenched his hands and said with a somewhat excited expression, his eyes full of something different.
of light.
In fact, he has always believed in JAVA, and he is even more convinced that JAVA will become the greatest programming language in the world, but JAVA takes time.
Today's JAVA is still too young, too immature, and too imperfect.
Seeing Goslin's excited look, Fang Chen suddenly fell silent.
Taylor on the side looked at Gosling with blame. He had actually known what Gosling said for a long time, but he felt that these were not problems.
Gosling asked that he be given enough time to optimize and upgrade JAVA, but after it is released, can it be upgraded and optimized?
Is there any software, operating system, or even programming language that is perfect from the beginning and has no glitches at all?
No, not one!
Almost all computer software, operating systems, and programming languages have gradually become perfected after a long period of iteration.
Ever since Gosling was nominally under his jurisdiction, he had been learning about computers. After all, he didn't want to. When Fang Chen asked him, he didn't know anything about it.
Therefore, he felt that it would not be too late for Gosling to release JAVA first and then gradually improve it.
The result was great. Gosling had a disagreement with him and insisted on coming to see Mr. Fang.
Now that the matter is brought before Mr. Fang, he will see how Goslin ends it.
After being silent for more than ten seconds, Fang Chen glanced at Taylor, and then asked: "Taylor, as the overseas person in charge of Qingtian, what do you think about JAVA?"
To be honest, he is a little helpless now. He has always attached great importance to JAVA, otherwise he would not have had that fight with the president of Sun Company for JAVA, and even made such a big move as acquiring Sun Company.
.
He even stood against Bill Gates for JAVA and made Bill Gates fall in love with him, even if he did not hesitate.
And although Microsoft has now shown its power to dominate the world in the future, after all, it is still not the Microsoft that has no flaws and is almost invincible after the release of Windows 95. God can kill gods when God stops it, and Buddha can kill Buddha when it stops Buddha.
If it can be done two years in advance, it will give JAVA a good living environment and development environment.
But judging from the current situation, it seems impossible.
Well, that's right, Fang Chen decided to support Gosling's idea.
Because he has always believed in engineering scientific research and technical personnel, and he also believes that Gosling, the father of JAVA, can give JAVA a better plan technically.
Furthermore, it is a fact that JAVA today is indeed immature, and he is not willing to embarrass himself with such an immature work.
As soon as the thought came to his mind, Fang Chen sighed softly in his heart. He was still too hasty.
In the previous life, JAVA was released at the 1995 Silicon Valley Technology Conference, but now it is only 1993, a full two years ahead of schedule.
Originally, he thought that he assigned enough technical personnel to Gosling, which could be said to be giving money and people to meet all Gosling's needs, which would be enough to smooth out the past two years, but the reality gave him
A good lesson was learned.
Sometimes, money doesn't decide everything.
Thinking of this, Fang Chen glanced at Goslin. If he guessed correctly, Goslin actually did a lot of work before Sun Company discovered JAVA in 1995.
Because judging from the current situation, if there were not a large number of programmers to help improve JAVA, it would be absolutely impossible for JAVA to be released just after Sun Company discovered its excellence and released JAVA in less than half a year.
Even worse, the reason is that JAVA, as an open source software, has spread among programmers, so Sun Microsystems came up with the idea of JAVA.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is it.
Otherwise, it is impossible to explain how Sun Company suddenly noticed JAVA four years after it was invented.
It seems that Gosling is not really just obsessed with technology and not interested in worldly affairs as he imagined.
With a pig-like face and a bright heart, this is probably the best way to describe a person like Gosling.
