2024 - J2EE: no longer required
Making waves, Loosely Coupled reports that J2EE is no longer required. Nice thought, but I think that prediction is about 20 years off. Like most geeks, I like Linux also; but the fact is, I can write one J2EE application and be confident that it’ll run on OS X, Linux, Solaris, Windows, AIX, HP-UX, and z/OS. Granted, I’ll stay away from EJBs…what a pain. I know that he is a CEO and prone to controversial statements, but Jonathan Schwartz is right, Java = Open.
Having said all that, given the right opportunity, I’ll choose Python over Java. It’s hard to walk away from loosely-typed.
