We're able but we don't do it, since there's a 9 to 5 job with a manager that always screams we work to slowly, and then after work we have to pick up kids, do the dishes and what have you.

Of course Java. It's still one of the best platforms out there, especially if you weigh in performance, stability and availability of open source libraries and free or cheap hosting.

Google for "GIL Python" and have a laugh (or cry). I think that's enough backing for my statement to begin with. Java, and so Java EE is considerably faster than Python, each and every benchmark out there proves this. Often i

With Java EE being clearly the better tool compared to Python and Ruby. Python is laughable. One word; GIL. Nuf said.

You're mixing up things. JBoss releases updates to its implementation rather frequently. If you look at their release dates it's almost every other month. See ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/jbeap/ You're

Fixes don't take years with Java EE!!! We're using JBoss and there's an updated version mostly every few weeks, months at most. Absolutely not years, that's totally ridiculous and tells me you've never really used J

I tried rails once. Startup was fast, but after 3 months we got stuck and things weren't so fast anymore. Modern Java EE let's you start about as fast as rails, especially when starting from a good Maven archetype. The code is imm

We're all free to have our opinions ;) About the reason for the consulting shop to pick EE because of the installed base, that was indeed my point regarding the first facet. The first facet (huge base) is what appeals to enterprises. T

I hear you. I personally stand by the title choice because IMHO there are two facets to Java EE. I'm not saying that it's a fact (I simply don't have the data to back it up), but those 2 facets I see are: * huge installed ent

Yeah, EJB 3 is itself really not that new, but it took some time for implementations to come out. JBoss AS 5 took ages and EAP even longer. Then people had to upgrade from their older versions and then had to discover how much the new APIs

There's very little need to go to Spring today. Base Java EE includes nearly everything that one needs. Plain Servlets is what you get when using just Tomcat, but Java EE goes beyond that with really great support for bean management a

JSF and EJB are the reason why Java EE is lately considered the "secret weapon". The fact is that both invoke memories of old times where they were very heavyweight and problematic technologies. EJB was a total disaster, where you

Not just karma, too many lazy engineers choose their stack almost solely on a quick scan on HN to see what's cool. You can date many startups by first looking at their stack, and then checking when that stack was cool here.

When startups choose tech these days based on what HN thinks is cool and hip at the day the decission is made, you can't blame tech companies noticing this and trying to turn the odds in their favour.

Thinking Java EE is primarily about EJB and JMS is pretty old school. These days CDI is the centrepiece of Java EE, along with services like Interceptors and Bean Validation. JPA, JSF and JAX-RS also play pretty important roles, which are a
