Shanti’s Dispatches

A friend who’s attending the php|tek conference said there was a bit of Ruby bashing going on. Of course, he reports as well, Java is feeling a much bigger brunt of the heat.

I’ve decided to officially stop saying negative things about my fellow Java/J2EE brethren.

Seeing articles like this, make me realize that saying bad things about Java/J2EE, is like kicking a defenseless puppy while he’s down.

It just isn’t right, and chances are, the usage of Java in many enterprise shops was carved in stone some 3-5 odd years ago after a middle-manager read about its cross-platform benefits in a Delta Airlines in-flight magazine. (oops, there I go again!! my bad…)

I’m just sorry, guys. Sorry.

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

- John Lennon, Imagine
