my opinion against java: java is generally a lot slower, and when the reason we use computer is for speed, i don't know why java is a solution.
the only great new thing in java is cross-platform binary compatibility. but despite of the great idea and technology behind this it solves only a problem that happens once in a blue moon. i mean we need speed everyday but we only need cross-platform binary compabitility once in about 2 years. so it seems quite illogical to me. while PHP grows naturally because it solves problems easily, java needs much press hype, academic requirement, and commercial push to get where it is now. i'm not totally against java, the function names are nice, the organization is perfect, and yes its free too :) Ariz Jacinto said: > The PHP Scalability Myth > by Jack Herrington > 10/15/2003 > > PHP scales.
