I think the term "javaification" was introduced to the discussion by Nik, who is the Java developer working on CirrusSearch, as a kind of joking self-deprecation. I don't think anyone intended to imply that everything to do with Java is bad. Daniel proposed an ideal code architecture as consisting of a non-trivial network of trivial classes -- a bold and precise vision. Nobody was uncivil or deprecating in their response. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
