Well, somehow I am happy to hear that, even if I don't currently use Java.

Let us to vote if it will raise or reduce quality of Java programmes..

Yeah, because things written in C/C++ tend to be so bug-free.

On another note, I use Java every day and I still can't follow its development since Oracle took over. According to this http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk9/ Java 9 is feature complete since May. And now they figure Jigsaw needs 3 months additional time? What kind of crappy code get checked in over there? Fwiw, they did this immediately after taking over from Sun, too. Java 7 was supposedly feature complete (with Jigsaw included), but Oracle announced a delay because the code was "not up to standards" and after delaying it a couple of time, they decided Java 7 will proceed without Project Jigsaw which will come with Java 8. Obviously that didn't pan out either.

That's because of other reasons, like the fact that java applications are made with like half the time you would need to make a decent job, or that the programmer is VERY new to programming because java is "easy".

It's crucial to get Jigsaw right, so I'm happy to have it delayed.

Jigsaw will set the standard for how all future JVM libraries will work with each other. You don't want mistakes here.

Actually, at this point I don't really know what the point of project Jigsaw is. Nobody needs that level of application modularity (otherwise OSGI would have taken off) and in the JDK/JRE I still don't know what it will improve.

Jigsaw sounds like Mir

Sorry, but has anyone read this piece of writing?
What a crappy bullshit article.
Here's my highlight:

The prevalent use of open source components in software development is creating unmanaged, systemic risks across companies and industries,

Anyway, glad to hear that Java 9 will finally arrive...
