As a recent convert to HTML5/CSS3/JavaScript, I'd say you're being conservative. I could probably knock out a Swing app in well under a quarter of the time it would take to do a web app equivalent (and even after ten/fifteen years away from it I could do the same thing in VB6 in a quarter of the time again). As far as I'm concerned as a software developer, there has been no meaningful progress in language design in the last twenty years (just different implementations of the same concepts that were already around then). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Java Posse" group.
