> It doesn't reflect well on Mozilla either that they hired someone who seems to be so out of his depth on core matters to Mozilla's business.
Andreas wasn't hired as an executive, and you could have easily confirmed this [1] before posting this comment. He started as a developer in 2008 on the JS engine. As he was basically responsible for TraceMonkey, Andreas is a large part of the reason why SpiderMonkey is one of if not the fastest JS engines around.
This topic is about a former Mozilla CTO (who allegedly worked with Android) and his inaccurate and baseless statements about the implications of Google's switch to the OpenJDK. I could accept this level of technical ignorance from a blogger or a journalist (although, a proper journalist would have researched it thoroughly), but to hear these comments coming from a CTO is baffling due to how out of touch his understanding of the situation was. I hate to use the word ignorant, but in this case he was pretty much ignorant on the entire topic which is sort of a head scratcher for someone who was once a CTO.
How he got there and what he did before is irrelevant.
The point is that he was Mozilla's CTO and his article is filled with inaccuracies showing he doesn't really understand what he's writing about and, worse, that he didn't even bother researching any of it.
