- themafia 11mo agoJava has it's place but it was delivered in such a way that it created an immense amount of collateral damage and lasting technical debt.
- firecall 11mo agoI was kinda trying being funny or sarcastic or something like that :-) And amusing to myself how many people actually remember or know what WebObjects was!
- karel-3d 11mo agoAll I know about is it the great box art. It always looked so cool and mysterious to me as a young developer. The same with everything called "XSan" and "Mac OS X Server". I don't know what any of it was, but the box art was always so cool.
- pavlov 11mo agoWebObjects was originally written in Objective-C. Now that's a fine language for a server. It combines the type safety of Ruby, the memory safety of C, and the terseness of Java. (I'm joking, mostly... Actually I was a big fan of Obj-C for desktop apps. Fond memories of times when I didn't have to care about servers and ever-changing web frameworks.)
