IDEs are nice and all but waiting for any project to compile gets beat in my book by simply reloading the page. I've developed with Struts/Tiles, written my own framework, experimented with Spring, Hibernate and pretty much every other framework available ( Tapestry and the likes). The simple stats are that for small projects, Java takes longer to develop other frameworks (With the best IDE too)
I'm not trying to feed flames or argue or anything.. I just develop in Java as well as other languages/platforms and so I speak from a fence sitter position I guess. Java people-don't try to say it is always the best. Other people-don't try to say Java doesn't have a place here and there. I've often looked long and hard for support in other languages for things link Distributed Sessions, front end caching, etc only to find that the only tools available are under development or not production quality (python memcache/sqlalchemy/sqlobject) (Just a side not sqlalchemy rocks even though it is still being actively developed). -Dennis >> -Bryan >> >> /* >> PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net >> Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug >> Don't fear the penguin. >> */ >> >> > > /* > PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net > Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug > Don't fear the penguin. > */ > /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
