Why Do 'Cool Kids' Choose Ruby or PHP to Build Websites Instead of Java?
Here is a question that I have been pondering on and off for quite a while: Why do 'cool kids' choose Ruby or PHP to build websites instead of Java? I have to admit that I do not have an answer. Why do I even care? Because I am a Java developer. Like many Java developers, I get along with Java well. Not only the language itself, but the development environments (Eclipse for example), step-by-step debugging helper, wide availability of libraries and code snippets, and the readily accessible information on almost any technical question I may have on Java via Google. Last but not least, I go to JavaOne and see 10,000 people that talk and walk just like me.

Let me sum up all these posts.
Java, like its creators at Sun, is anal retentive.
Because Java plays as iut is FLOSS and it is not. So we go LAMP and say F)/= off!
And yeah, I just had Java this semester and it is true: Java SUCKS!
Next semester guess what I am taking? Python!
Long live LAMP (as in PHP right now, and PHP/Python by next year)
Stop writing crappy articles and DO Y OUR JOB! Go program some app in Java and see if anyone uses it.. And I'll gte my Google Apps account and make a Hello World over there and send you a link!
