From the time James Gosling resigned I started wondering what is he going to do next ?  What is so special about James Gosling ? Why is so special about him ?

I don’t just consider him as the father of Java, I believe he is one of the most influential person in programming world. Not every body who know software industry may know about him, but he is very popular and famous in the world of programmer’s. I have no doubt he must have fans. If I touch any part of modern internet world there is a role played by Java directly or indirectly.
Java, Javascript, browser programming, web applications, frameworks, Enterprise apps, cross platform UI, and many new programming languages were directly or indirectly influence by Java, ex:- C#. Even if Java fade with time the concepts ( for example Garbage Collection) popularized by Java will be alive for long long time. James Gosling directly or indirectly played a important role in the creation of modern world. He will be remembered and respected for longer time than Larry Elision.

I am extreme curious to know what is he going to do next ? he may go to science projects, where his involvement will be more meaningful for the society, OR he may go join another company like Google or IBM and may even drive opensource Java with a different name. If he really do that, I believe father of Java is famous enough he can attract the masses and pull the followers of Java towards his new creation.I believe by joining a tech loving companies like Google or IBM  he can influence future Java more than what Oracle can do with just the name”JAVA”.

James Gosling, Thank you and your team (each member of your team and SUN) for creating Java and changing the world. What ever the task you take up next, I wish you Good luck.
