After reading that response I'm not sure whether you have actually read
what I wrote.
Most of the stuff you say was actually explicitly addressed in my comment
already and some of the stuff is more or less beating down a straw man
build up from things I never said.

Isn't it quite ironic that people claim that Java is the more "academic"
ecosystem, when – as soon as some technical points are brought up – someone
immediately attacks with the same, sore, old
business-pov/popularity/from-authority response?

It's not an attack: it's the reality check that says that in academia you discuss about what's the better technology on paper, outside academia you discuss about what's the better technology in the sense that sells more. Nothing more, nothing less. Frankly, I'm still amazed by the fact that, if I was in your side, I'd be the first to ask myself: hell, but given that "my" stuff is better, why isn't selling more? Instead, I don't see the question, I don't see the answer and only the reiteration about that technology is still the better one.

For the record I've read your whole post twice, and it was long - with a reason, because you had many points - mine is shorter, that is just a couple of questions, did you read them? You're not answering, might I know why? :-)
