I'm surprised that you consider it controversial that a highly dynamic language can be considered fast to PoC something in than Java. There is just less typing/code that needs to be defined (I know IDEs help). Also easier to do quick and dirty stuff that I imagine would be more restricted in Java. No classes to define, just throw your values in there.
I prefer python in general but for zero-to-simple-web-endpoint I may pick Node.

Sure, but that wasn't the argument; GP talked specifically about async and websockets, which are areas where Java is particularly weak, but areas that I was surprised would be required for a PoC at all.
- lawik 10y agoFair enough. I was mostly responding to the thread of discussion overall. I realise now that I was probably reacting more to the viewpoint of hota_mazi.
