So you should switch to Java because Ruby is a "dying language?" To a language invented by a company that is already dead, Sun Microsystems. And, who's creator abandoned the company when it was taken over by Oracle. This guy is recommending a switch to Oracle, who's main product is an old severely aging relational database that costs a small fortune to deploy and hasn't seen significant changes in decades. Do you really think that Java is in a great place right now in the hands of the likes of Oracle? A company who's primary interest is profit, attained by gouging large enterprises for everything they can possibly get a way with. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
