Gang, I made a "skip the motivation, high level crap and go straight to the metal"-kind of presentation of Qi4j at the Wicket Meetup in Amsterdam that was held in parallel to the ApacheCon. Mixed reactions;
* Sleep * Smoke * Enthusiasm * Concerns of - "How is the average programmer going to understand this?" - "What are you going to do to get adoption going?" - "What new problems are you creating, replacing the old with the new?" - "There will be so many fragments, how am I going to track what I got in the project, let alone all the one's available in the open source space?" Also, the entire Indexing vs Storage split is somewhat hard for people to get their heads twisted around. Not that people don't understand the principle, just that can't comprehend the consequences, and stuck in old ways of thinking. The overall reaction is "This is really cool. Let's use it in 5 years..." Personally, I think "adoption" is coming hand-in-hand with "Bad Times" and "Superior Development Efficiency", since that will create business for us who adopt, and basically out competing the legacy folks. A got a strong reaction when I responded to the "average programmer learning this?" by saying "average programmer will be out of job"... hinting that a much smaller set of programmers can do the same job. Anyway, it was interesting, and I would like to thank the Wicket core team for inviting me to talk (although I never got that promised Open Sourced Beer)....
