Okay, but they did a really poor job marketing it in this release. Plus, if it's used within Amazon, why it's Java-only so far?

- makoz 11y agoAmazon's mainly a Java shop, not sure if that helps you.
- nikolay 11y agoNot really the case - a lot of major projects (like boto and AWS CLI) are in Python.
- majewsky 11y agoThese are only client-side interfaces. The server-side is usually much larger.
- nikolay 11y agoTrue, but my point was that there's enough talent at Amazon, working on SDKs, and others, and there are precedents where even more complex projects such as JMESPath have wide support [0]. [0]: http://jmespath.org/libraries.html http://jmespath.org/libraries.html

- umanwizard 11y agoI'm sure there are ion bindings for every language in common use at Amazon. But a huge percentage of Amazon code is Java, so presumably this one was the best maintained and documented.
- sswezey 11y agoI doubt it, when I was there Ion was only used by only a handful of Java teams doing backend work. It was also horribly documented and supported at the time (3.5 years ago).
- serge2k 11y agoI left < a year ago and never heard of ion.
- umanwizard 11y agoWhat did you work on?
- swaranga 11y agoI am still in Amazon and Ion is definitely the most widely used library around. It has among the best documented code and some of the extensions that have been built on top of Ion are simply amazing.
