CASTANET AND BONGO: THE NEXT STEP FOR JAVA Available to Purchase

Java is a useful tool but with drawbacks. Now a company launched at the crest of the Java wave has announced its first products which look like being Java's Next Big Step. Marimba (http://www.marimba.com) was founded in February this year by four members of the original Java development team at Sun Microsystems: Kim Polese, Arthur van Hoff, Jonathan Payne and Sami Shaio. The first fruits of this new company are Castanet and Bongo.”
