It's been more than half a century of IBM mainframes and today the latest in that family history, the IBM z 14 has released. Faster, more secure, fully encrypted and more affordable than every before.

@mlnews Sometimes you just have to wonder about marketing guys "New secure services with Java". Javascript maybe, but Java? That on top of the whole encryption thing, really people.
I'm sure they're amazing, just wish I had a need for one!

Actually Mainframes run insane amounts of traditional Java. Because Java is what replaced COBOL in financial applications and because mainframes are focused primarily on financial workloads, it's a very big deal there.

Remember that some super cool languages like Scala and Clojure run on top of the Java VM, too.

You can run KVM on it :-). I need one.........

Ah. That'd explain it then. I'll grant that I'd rather deal with JAVA than COBOL!
