Here's my personal opinion, comparing ESP to JSP, YMMV ;-) I'm biased, as a big fan of server-side javascript. > * Readability, verbosity I much prefer ESP over JSP: used well, the dynamic aspects of the language help a lot. > * Modularization of pages No difference IMHO. > * Access to Java API Very similar, though some catches with ESP. for example when rhino cannot choose between overloaded methods due to type ambiguity. > * Support by Sling (feature completeness, bugs, …) I think support is equally good. The ESP debugging tools could be improved though - in general JSP tooling is often better or easier to find. > Or is it just a matter of personal taste? I think it mostly boils down to personal taste in the end. Though I prefer javascript, well-written JSP is good, but I've seen lots of crappy JSP in the field, probably because it is too easy to use JSP without being aware of issues like separation of concerns and readability. -Bertrand
