After coding in spring, and android (after having coded in other languages before), i pretty much agree that java is a quite good language. But the ecosystem is daunting.
Every single component (think ORM, build management, web stack, web server/container, serialization libs, and even IDEs) have a least 3 different technologies, which have existed for 4 to 5 years at the minimum and are up to version 10.
The Java world needs to officially DROP things. Drop librairies, deprecate frameworks, stop maintaining things. That's completely the opposite of what the enterprise world needs, but i really feel that would be really beneficial to the global perception for that language.
- unclebucknasty 13y agoI think Java veered wildly off track with EJB. It's legacy lives on (unfortunately), but at, least it's not the de facto standard for enterprise dev that it once was. So, in some senses, at least the rabid drive toward implementing the full spec has been deprecated, if not the technology itself.
