I'm late to the game here; was it GSX Server a.k.a. VMware Server?[1]

- sturadnidge 9y agoIt was Cloud Foundry, Spring, RabbitMQ and at the time they were sponsoring Antirez (Redis).
- antirez 9y agoI think GemFire as well.
- hiram112 9y agoWhich is a bit misleading as far as Spring is concerned. Spring has never been abandonware to the Java community. It is probably the most used framework for enterprise - I've seen maybe 10 jobs looking for Spring experience vs the JEE crap that it has mostly replaced. I know it gets a bad view on HN - a lot of FactoryBuilderFactoryBeans and a rather large kitchen sink of APIs. But the framework itself is well written, great docs, lots of resources. I've been involved in a dozen different projects where the architects hated Spring and instead went to some newer hipper lang like Flask, Django, Rails, Finatra / Finagle. Spring has a learning curve, but once you get it, it is far more powerful and stable than any of these alternatives.
