Wrong and here is why. You will die (lets hope you dont get a heart attack while writing here) and does that mean you should give up? I dont think so (regardless of your current behaviour).
Yea, tapestry will die, so will java, as well the thing that replaces java eventually, still you dont give up just because of that. you use it as long as it works for you. Allow me to share the two greats things I have ever learned in my entire life. 1. Tools. One of the teacher once told me that every time he sees something like "Java vs C++", "Tapestry vs Wicket" or "Something vs Something else", what he does is replaces the first word with hammer and second with screwdriver. The point it that what *tool *to use depends on the problem. In other words there is *no one correct answer* when asking a *vs *question 2. Data All in all, applications that we write are transient, tomorrow they will be replaced by some new technology that will be designed to do a better job (see my point on tools again) and it is *data *that we should focus and not on one application, and not on any one languag and not one technology. For me tapestry works. I like the syntax, I like the simplicity. I am ok with the performance, I am really excited with tapestry 5.4. Oh and I am really happy with people here helping each other out. But if you dont think that tapestry works for you then dont use it.* It is that simple.* On Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 10:31 PM, Emmanuel Sowah <eso...@gmail.com> wrote: > But it's not smart to choose something that we all know is going to die, > right or not? > > > On Wed, Nov 20, 2013 at 10:28 PM, Boris Horvat <horvat.z.bo...@gmail.com > >wrote: > > > Emmanuel FOCUS.
