Ruby and Java don't really compete in the same space, it would probably be better to compare Ruby and PHP as those two are the primary competitor with each other. If you wanted to point to a competitor to Java, .Net would probably be the closest match.

I agree, but when Rails came out, there was a whole lot of Ruby on Rails is going to kill Java type posts. I guess this means Meteor is reaching some mindshare.

  Yeah, and we saw how well that worked. Java projects sprung up to incorporate the good ideas from Rails, Rails itself picked up a load of developers and evolved into something decent, and the world moved on. Nothing was killed, but all the boats rose. I'm thinking maybe the drama wasn't a requirement for this to happen. Perhaps Meteor devs could experiment with that idea.

    Without the drama, this post with a different title would have fallen off the front page in about 15 minutes.

      ...then the solution is to write a post that can stand on its own merits. That shouldn't be difficult if Meteor can live up to this kind of hype.
