Haha...sorry, no I didn't mean to lump you in with the hn-stereotyped non-co-founder masses (and I don't even agree with it, in most cases, but it's easy to use it as an explanatory tool). Java, for sure, is a fine tool for the job, technically speaking; I was referring more to the business/social aspect of having to sell the stack to a developer, and convincing them to work on it. This also may be developer bullshit too? who knows. I do think that the results will speak for themselves, if you can find a great java dev, that wants to work on it, etc, etc, than my theory is probably BS. If you haven't found anyone, than I would seriously consider letting a dev run with the new stack.
