Java之父James Gosling在博客上发表文章，纪念即将逝去的太阳。

http://blogs.sun.com/jag/entry/so_long_old_friend

下面的评论，充满着对这家伟大技术公司的怀念，简单搜索great，就能发现很多满怀深情的言语，摘录几句：

Thanks Sun. What a great company. Sun was like a family and what a GREAT family it was. Today is like losing a family member. Thanks James.. an amazing company and great people like you.. just fortunate to work 10 years.. Thanks for Sun in giving me a great career, I still remember reading Java 1.2 book from Sun such a fun and educational read! ：） ......

从我个人的感情上来说，SUN就是伟大技术企业的代名词，SUN的产品都是顶尖技术的代名词。Java仍然是至今最伟大的编程语言，也伴随我度过了最长的编程生涯，正是Java之美让我感受到了编程之美，现在虽然很少用Java了，但是这种美好的感觉是不会改变的，超越Java仍然路途漫漫。也许，SUN的悲情陨落，仅仅是再一次证实了技术至上的宿命，但是理想主义者们的悲情谢幕总是令人感慨。人固有一死，或重于泰山，或轻于鸿毛，一个公司也是一样，能像SUN一样对计算机科学以及IT行业产生如此重大的影响，足以名垂青史。

好在，这家叫Standford University Network的公司，有了同样来自Stanford，同样技术至上，同样理想主义的Google作为继任者，而Google的第一笔投资正是来自SUN的创始人之一Andy Bechtolsheim。历史总是充满着巧合，正如伽利略逝世那天，牛顿出生，Google是否就是为了传承SUN的衣钵而来到这个世界？

最后，像James Gosling一样，我要深情地对SUN说： So Long, Old Friend ...
