Java : One year with Oracle review
- koenigdavidmj 16y agoCan someone more familiar with the ecosystem tell me how dependent Oracle's database stuff is on Java? I am trying to see what Oracle could lose by letting it just die.
- mark_l_watson 16y agoNice review! I am optimistic that our Oracle Java overlords might do a good job shepherding the platform. I am however often overly optimistic. After 5 years of doing a lot of Common Lisp+Ruby+Clojure development, I am now for at least 6 months almost totally immersed in Glassfish, EJB 3.1, JMS, horizontal scaleout, etc. I am having a lot of fun with this, very interesting work. As a non-work thing, I am also exploring Clojure and JRuby (and Rails) on Glassfish. I am not totally sure about this, but the combination of Java + JRuby + Clojure seems a better fit for the kinds of work I usually do than one all inclusive ubber language like Scala.
