My experience from various training courses I have given is that in the large corporate Web applications world, the average programmer knows Java, just enough Java, and isn't that interested in anything else. Gross oversimplification but a good indicator. However within the financial sector, some of the large players are ditching Java and unitary systems in favour of a small Scala core and Python using what is effectively an SOA architecture. In all these organizations there are large bodies of C++ code hence a move away from Java and C# to Python. In other organizations Java remains the core but Groovy, JRuby and Clojure are admitted, which sounds like your experience… > I was very happy when on a project for a new internal proprietary > JSF based framework, we were allowed to have Groovy as part of > the framework's supported languages. > > That only happened because the said company was replacing the > Perl scripts by Groovy scripts in their deployment infrastructure. Perl is a fine language in many ways and not so fine in others. It seems though that it is increasingly seen as legacy in the way COBOL is. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
