On August 29, 1997, Java became mainstream. In a panic, Microsoft tried 
to embrace, extend and exterminate the system, prompting Sun to 
retaliate with a lawsuit, knowing that Microsoft's counterattack would 
eliminate all its main competitors in the U.S. This initiates an 
indeterminately long period of new language development culminating in a 
battle against corporate monopoly, which gained ever-increasing 
capabilities of FUD.
