Unfortunately, Java isn't dead. I'm still stuck in that quagmire every day, and will be until I can find an escape from my current situation. Java (IMHO) is being mangled by the huge ugly monster that is Oracle. This does not bode well for Java in my view. I actually had a good opinion of Sun Microsystems, other than the fact that they could never seem to take their great ideas and products and turn them into a profitable business. But, I certainly cannot say the same about Oracle. I've never been a fan, I don't like their products, business tactics, or even their leadership. I am also not surprised that you're not getting responses from Java forums. They have enough problems of their own. They don't have the time, or the will, to help you out with yours. :) Keep in mind this is all strictly my opinion. However, it seems to me that the vast majority of Java programmers are just going about their daily lives with Java, as they have been doing for years. The passionate programmers out in the world are desperately seeking alternatives. I present to you "Ruby on Rails" as evidence to the effect. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
