python rocks. CmdrTaco should rewrite /. in python 'caz its so cool and much better. It scales more than perl and the ROI is out of this world.
I managed to optimize my tomcat installation for space, speed, and ease of use.
I replaced it with Resin. J2EE gets a bad reputation because Sun bases its references implementation on Tomcat, and you really have to dig hard to find anything slower than tomcat.
It's not free, but it's cheap. And paired with ikes for the on-the-fly compilation, it's amazingly fast.
