I think the excitement is still there but it's morphed. In the early years, I was excited by Java because it saved me from C++. These days, I'm not excited by the language itself but by the feeling of empowerment and productivity it gives me. I feel that with very few exceptions, I can put together an app that does pretty much anything you can think of with very little friction and in a very, very short time. It will be fast, fully typed, easy to maintain and evolve and with a satisfying architecture that I will feel comfortable tweaking and adjusting. And yes, all this despite Java's verbosity. I like a lot of alternative JVM languages, but when you look at the broader picture, none of these languages score as high as Java in all these areas. -- Cédric -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
