I used Java until 2002, then used Ruby until 2009, then switched to Javascript (server side). 3 months ago I decided to switch back to Java and I really feel I lost a decade with experiments.
It turns out, I am really a static-typing ...type after all.
With utilities like Spring Roo, frameworks like Jersey (JAX-RS), IDEs like Eclipse and platforms like GAE, Java can be really productive.
- Torn 16y agoEnterprise developer using Jersey to make RESTful apps here. I've come from a Django background in my own time, and while it's pretty verbose you can get a lot done with Jersey and spring-wiring things. Are there any complementary tools out there for things like templating and form validation? We're currently using Apache Velocity for templating and manually doing this stuff feels a bit alien to me when Django gives you this stuff for free.
