Joshua Bloch leaves Sun and joins Google
Joshua Bloch, author of Effective Java, JSR 175 spec lead, and much more, has decided to hang up his hat at Sun.
Just after his promotion to Distinguished Engineer, he moves down the road in the Valley to join the small startup Google.
He will still be involved in the Java community of course. There is talk of an Effective Java upgrade for Java 1.5.
Good luck Joshua!
NOTE: TheServerSide.com has a tech talk interview with Joshua on Java 1.5. View the tech talk

No reference, we heard from Josh
Hi -
We don't have a reference, other than an email that Josh wrote to the JSR 175 metadata expert group.
He will be missed, and we look forward to seeing what he comes up with at Google!
Dion

<!--Josh added a lot to Java.-->
I coudn't agree more. If MR.Gosling is the father of Java, MR.Josh nurture Java like a mother. I wish him good luck and hope he still be involve with Java.

Joshua Bloch and Don Box
If Josh was more visible, he could likely be the same kind shepherd for Java developers that Don Box is for the MS/.Net crowd. Wonder why he never jumped into the blogosphere? Josh?
Yeah... his book is a classic in object oriented API design.

Yeah, that British accent gets us everytime. :)

Ooops, I missed the smiley :-)
I'm sure Joshua will be missed at Sun but it shouldn't make much difference to his contributions to Java and JSR 175, hopefully.

Josh Bloch set a great example with his APIs, especially Collections. No matter how fancy we can get with patterns, frameworks, blogs, or insightful online forums, what people learn the most from - and what helps to tie these things together - are archetypal examples. This is one reason why Microsoft periodically produce MS-Office in the look-and-feel they want developers to follow. And the same could be said of an API such as Collections, which is well-known throughout the Java community and embodies many of the principles and patterns discussed in "Effective Java".
Hopefully, Josh will continue to contribute through JCP or other means, as this is a big loss for Sun.

Maybe will be better for Java
Hello all!
Hope Google let Joshua work 50% of his time to the Java improvement. I heard that Google let Guido work 50% of his time to take care of Python.
