It is funny: On one hand I can see people trying to be fit on 50 languages because depending on the project one or the other might be the best way to do it. On the other hand there are people searching for the one-language-4-all. If we would have a single language that has such a good design that it fits everywhere then this would be nice because a) like the english language it would be a common standard understood by the vast majority and b) less issues with different runtimes required, interoperability issues and so on and so forth. I think those are the two extremes that can be found in the wild: 1. Those who try to master many different languages and 2. those who focus on one trying to be an expert in that particular language. And the reality is somewhere in the middle I would say. The PHP-Java discussion I think is very related to this common issue. Maybe those who are more like 1 prefer PHP for web applications and those who are more like 2 prefer Java. - Just my guess from what I read in the PHP-Java-discussion. -- Martin Wildam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
