I sugest reading the article and don't take thigns out of context. - First it's from 2005 (when was Java made open source.. 2006?). I'm no expert in the JVM but I guess any signifcant community gains where made after 2006. - Secondly he makes it perfectly clear he no choice "yes, it has to be Java, for a variety of reasons that I don't feel like going into right now" That aside many people still choose Java for various reasons over other languages. Hell I'm still doing .net 1.1 and VB6 work for clients.
