... for some values of "you", apparently ;) Lucene, Hadoop, Cassandra, Hudson/Jenkins, RapidMiner, GWT and a gazillion other best of breed open source projects have selected Java, for better or for worse.
- Hisoka 15y agoI never said all, I said most. Lucene, Hadoop and Cassandra are in the minority.
- reinhardt 15y agoI doubt that Java open source projects are in the minority. GitHub [1] is far from a representative sample of the whole FOSS activity. [1] https://github.com/languages https://github.com/languages
- reinhardt 15y agoThat's funny, apparently I'm getting downvoted repeatedly for having the nerve to say that FOSS Java projects are not a minority. The irony is that I left Java behind for Python seven years and never looked back. If I was taking this votes/points/karma thing seriously I would be rather pissed, now I'm just laughing at the rabid fanboyism.
