> Chris Zumbrunn's personal think tank

Stop bashing Java

Jürg, making the case for Java beyond J2EE :

"...there were alternatives around since years (e.g. Helma , which is surprisingly similar to Rails in a few fields), and often the people who now blame J2EE for not having been efficient were simply to lazy to really look for alternatives earlier on."

"I think it might be time to stop bashing Java and enjoy the fact that there are actually ways of working with it or any language available in its growing little universe that are enjoyable, not bound to Sun licenses, very flexible, fast and resource-saving."
