- jamesbritt 18y agoSome of us have been excited about running JRuby Web apps on Glassfish for some time now. I have one (using Ramaze) in production. What's exciting here is that GAE offers a new venue for deployment of JVM-based languages: JRuby, Clojure, Jython, and so on. Java language is no fun, but Java the platform is great.
- rs 18y agoI'm using Java on xp-dev.com. I did run through a bunch of frameworks (Spring webflow, Wicket, Struts), and just decided to rollout a home grown one. See, I'm still two minded and really really undecided whether Java is a good or bad programming language. One mind says Java is verbose and does not support nice things like closures (there are anonymous classes, but it's still not pristine) and then the other mind says, but but.. look at the IDE support - in a bunch of keystrokes you end up with loads of code, and you can refactor nicely and whatnot
