I have the same problem nowadays and think about migrating to Java for web development. I heard about Play! framework very much. Do you think Java is a good idea for web over Python and Ruby?
- lucian1900 14y agoMany people (myself included) find Java too limiting. Many others like it. But even Java is so much better than PHP. If you like it, go for it.
- valeh 14y agoActually, I find Python and Ruby much more interesting than Java (actually, Java seems as a boring language :) ) . But since Java is general purpose language and it's known as market skill, I want go for it.
- lucian1900 14y agoPython and Ruby are both general purpose languages, and both also run on the JVM. Knowledge of Java can be useful though, as terrible as the language is.
- anuraj 14y agoPython and ruby are just scripting languages - Java is a structured type safe language which is battle hard. No comparison!
- lucian1900 14y agoDon't be silly. All three languages are of similar maturity (in fact Python is even older than Java) and all three have been "battle tested". The only thing you might argue is that the JVM is a better runtime than CPython or CRuby, and for that there's JRuby and Jython.
