> Java != Java EE Not every usage of Java involves Java EE, but that doesn't mean Java EE isn't a really valuable tool for many of us. It has had a bad name in the past, but last version have totally changed that and it's now a very sane tech. Twitter of course is a highly specialized thing that operates on a Scala that almost by definition not every web site out there will be at. It makes sense to build a lot of their own tools and only use lower level infrastructure as a base. So the JVM and Java is low enough for them to build their stuff on, but many parts of Java EE may be too high level for their very specific use case.
