Re: To Rev or not to Rev

I used to feel this way. And I don't code in Java myself, preferring Python when Rev won't do. But the latest changes to Java and the brilliant IDEs (e.g., Eclipse) and widget toolkits (e.g., Windowbuildedr Pro), have really streamlined the dev process. OTOH, it's still Java, which is syntactically far too much like C/C++ for my personal taste.

But when a client needed an app that did stuff nobody I could find could figure out how to do in Rev without a LOT of coding while there were dozens of Java libraries available for each of those tasks, I realized why a lot of people choose Java, Python and other languages with great third-party (and mostly free) libraries.

IMHO, for things that Rev is not good for, I would use almost anything rather than Java which I don't much care for
