I find that laughably generous. In my experience, Java gets a pass because it's "enterprise", whatever the hell that means. I've never heared anyone make a compelling case for Java on technical merit. It's always "we're a Java shop, because we're enterprise".
- ssijak 9y agoYou say there is no technical merit to use Java ecosystem over something else?
- tomelders 9y agoNope. Thats not what I said.
- RhodesianHunter 9y ago"I've never heared anyone make a compelling case for Java on technical merit." IMO this is a sign that you should expand the company you keep rather than being indicative of any flaw with Java.
- jlmorton 9y agoIf you're a business making a language choice based on the technical merits of the language itself, you are very much doing it wrong.
- fgonzag 9y agoBecause you can find libraries for all the "Enterprise" technologies easily. Besides .net, not many ecosystems offer that kind of library support. From XML signatures, to pkcs11, to complete soap support (including ws-security), to many others. Fact is, in the Enterprise you'll have to interface with many of the aforementioned technologies, and Java still has the most support for them. We find that even in .net we sometimes have to implement some things on our own from the horribly convoluted "Enterprise" technologies because a specific feature isn't supported.
