@Alex Objelean & Igor Vanyberg-2 Yea, my bad on just posting something up here without looking at any previous posts. Look, it was my rant and how I felt about things at the time. Nothing personal. This was actually the clean version for public consumption. It was probably still too rude though. Sorry about that. I suppose it would be lame to spend a lot of time on a framework and then have some kid post up a “Wicket Sucks” post.
@Jonathan Locke I agree that Java is fast. I don't worry about scaling and performance because of that. To the people worrying about memory, I don't think that is a big deal. Sure any framework is going to waste more memory than bare bones JSP/Servlets, but memory is cheap. Eclipse is like the biggest hog ever and look at how successful it is. Also, I am sticking with Java. I have a really good job and such. The only reason I would ever move is if I could land a leet job in the Valley doing Python at some sweet start-up. Not likely though. Java is better than some of the alternatives out there: http://harmful.cat-v.org/software/ruby/rails/is-a-ghetto. Scala is still too unstable. The other Java web-frameworks are all flawed too. I don't hate my job either. @sthomps LOL! You know Eleco Hilenius wrote the “Wicket in Action” book? For some reason I can't stop laughing. Now everyone is going to think you are a badass at work. The book is decent, but it would be nice if the next edition would have a chapter at the end that rewrites the “Cheese Store” into “Cheese Store 2.0,” using all the advanced stuff that was explained in the latter chapters. It would help Wicket newcomers like me. It would also show how to do a real app with best-practices. -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/Apache-Wicket-is-a-Flawed-Framework-tp4080411p4089212.html Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
