In 2006, when Neal Ford coined or popularised the term polyglot programming, it seemed to gain some popularity.
However, in the past few years, the trend seems to have gone towards using as few languages as possible. In Java you could use GWT or Android on the client and Hibernate on the server and not see either JavaScript or SQL. With Node.js, JavaScript becomes the common language. Fantom and Clojure (via ClojureScript) can also compile to JavaScript. Was polyglottism ever a good way to build an application? Is this just a pendulum swing or rather the result of more powerful tools? Moandji -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
