  Gosling Emacs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gosling Emacs (often shortened to "Gosmacs" or "gmacs") was an Emacs implementation written in 1981 by James Gosling in C.
Gosling initially allowed Gosling Emacs to be redistributed with no formal restrictions, but later sold it to UniPress.
Gosling Emacs was especially notable for its efficient redisplay code, which used a dynamic programming technique to solve the classical string-to-string correction problem.

 About Java Technology: An Interview with James Gosling
James Gosling, vice president and fellow at Sun Microsystems, also known as the "father" of the Java programming language, created the original design of the language and implemented its original compiler and virtual machine.
Gosling sat down with the JDC and answered some of the many questions received as a result of the poll.
JAMES GOSLING: No, actually I tend to go the other way, which is to say, a way to make classes behave more like primitives, so that they can be optimized and become extremely efficient, and maybe have a way to do autoboxing so that they sort of go back and forth between being objects.

 A Chat with James Gosling
While James mentioned that the changes are being folded into the 1.3 version, there was concern of how much of these beta-quality changes would actually make it since the 1.3 schedule is fixed.
When James was asked what he was excited about, he said that he has been involved recently in the real-time work.
James stressed that operator overloading is easy to misuse which is why it was not included in Java.

 Gosling Didn’t Get The Memo
Gosling shows his ignorance regarding the current feature set provided by dynamic languages and what people are using them for.
James uses the example of “interplanetary navigation”, which is a really good example except that it isn’t; most of us aren’t working at NASA and those of us who are working at NASA are doing things like trying to get the payroll and accounting systems working together or building simple productivity applications.
You say James Gosling is ignorant of the many different things that PHP and Ruby are used for (he mentions PHP 7 times, Ruby 1, Python 1, Perl 0) because he characterizes them as languages that just generate web pages.

 Interview with Dennis Ritchie, Bjarne Stroustrup, James Gosling
James Gosling: I think that the number one reason is that it's been generally a very pragmatic family of languages.
Gosling: There's certainly a proof by existence that there are no features that are essential that are missing, because people are able to get their jobs done.
Gosling: One of the things I've found kind of depressing about the craft of computer programming is that you see all these fancy development environments out there, and they tend to be targeted at solving certain specific kinds of problems, like building user interfaces.

 CRN | Java Guru Speaks Out On   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Gosling, who recently returned to day-to-day Sun operations as CTO of Sun's Java development platform division, is credited for the creation of the Java programming language in 1995.
Gosling said that it's feasible for the JTC and the JCP will come up with a common Java API that will allow third parties to plug into various Java tools in a year, with some early implementations available around the same time.
Still, Gosling said he is "very happy" with how Java has progressed in the nearly nine years it has been available, primarily because the work of a community, while less efficient than the work of one vendor, ultimately creates a better product.

 [No title]
The boy was -- you guessed it -- James Gosling, and his love of computers and software would play a critical role not only for Sun but for the whole computer industry.
So Gosling decides to just hop in the car with Gage and take a ride to nearby Monterey, California, where the annual conference is held.
Gosling, now 48, has a lot less hair on his head (and a lot more on his chin) than the boy who broke into the computer science department at the University of Calgary, but he still loves writing software.

 James Gosling, Java
In fact, Gosling and a group of half a dozen Sun employees began work on "The Green Project," a mission so secret that its members moved to an off-site work space.
Gosling's initial vision was a lot like the way Java is now being used: Sun was building networks of big and little things connected together in a heterogeneous, distributed environment.
Gosling spends his time focusing on what can be done with tools to deal with today's massively complex systems.

 FTPOnline - James Gosling on J2EE & .NET   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Kicked back in his trademark blue jeans and white T-shirt uniform, Gosling addressed one of the chief complaints about Java these days—that the standardization process moves too slowly, leaving reference platforms like J2EE apparently behind the competition.
Gosling posited that from a long-term technical viewpoint, the J2EE world may actually be moving faster than competitors like Microsoft because the competition between Java partners can weed out the weaker ideas.
Gosling believes that the J2EE world is already far ahead of Microsoft and claims that Sun and its partners may not be getting enough credit for their long history of developing products with interoperability in mind.

 Gosling on C#, why X Windows sucks, and asparagus | The Register
Java creator James Gosling was wearing a custom-made T-shirt for the opening day of the JavaOne show in San Francisco, a blue number which features Duke the Java mascot surfing across a watchface, trailing behind him what appears to be a bunch of blue asparagus.
At this point Gosling told us that he'd created the design himself, using a scanned image of his grandfather's watch, and this put a rapid halt to our friendly provocations.
Not having interviewed Gosling before we had the sense that he could be an awful interviewee: a no-nonsense prickly genius, a kind of Californian Bjarne Stroustrup, who regards humdrum hacks as a tedious irritation.
