Bob knows what he's doing. Should we geeks ever choose to formalise our hitherto ad hoc world domination plans and elect a Council of Elders, I for one would welcome Bob playing a prominent role. As a chronicler of our land of geekdom and a soothsayer, he's a kind of rockstar. I for one give him much more credence than just some bloke on the Internet with a blog.

This latest article of his though…? Whilst clearly not a someone is wrong on the internet moment, I read it, accepted the points, waited ten seconds thought "hang on" and tweeted it out. A good number of people also came back with a similar sense of "something's wrong here" and, well, it seemed like there was a story in it.

Bob's argument is that, as the title of his article implies, Java will return to a point of domination when it comes to building web-based applications. His argument starts by going way, way back to the mid-90s when the only way to build web application was to use Perl and/or C or C++. This, frankly, is a time before I used to build web applications, firmly welded as I was in this period to writing client/server apps in native Win32. But his central point is valid - namely that Perl became a popular way to build web applications because it was less painful than doing the same in C/C++.
