LAMP Grid Application Server, No More J2EE

Posted by michael on from the corporate-duct-tape dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Check out this blog entry in Loosely Coupled about ActiveGrid's new open source Grid Application Server based on the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python/Perl) stack. Not to start another PHP vs. Java flame war, but it looks like LAMP is starting to grow up, and that it is much better suited for next generation applications than J2EE."

    Kicking ass of J2EE does not yet impose any technical quality of LAMP except that it actually works.

    Everyone knows that Bush is going to make you all use Java. You lost your chance to have a good alternative in John Kerry who would have supported your PHP/Perl/Python. But, NoOOOooOOOo: Abortions and anal sex are more important that CODING!

    So I'll start.

    Of course LAMP is better suited for next-generation applications than Java. Java is comparatively heavy, forces you into an object-oriented paradigm, has static typing, and doesn't lend itself well for rapid prototyping and development.

    The P languages are dynamic, flexible, light-weight and pretty much designed for rapid prototyping and development. They also lead to more concise programs than Java.

    All this is obvious to people who have actually studied these languages and evaluated them in an open-minded way. Only people who don't really know anything besides Java and those who have been brainwashed by the hype machine that think otherwise.

    Not to say that Java is all bad and the Ps are all perfect, but Java is a flawed language, and people are slowly waking up to this.

    The implementation is a mere derail.

    Ouch. Think of the insights we would miss if Slashdot would have a spelling checker...

    I'm going to go out on a limb and call you a liar. Your cute little story is just too anecdotal.

    It would take a level of skill & stupidity the likes of which I've never encountered in 10 years to make a JSP-based app perform worse than PHP. So-called developers so lacking in ability tend to opt for the interpreted scripting languages over type-safe, compiled languages in the first place.

    Go try pushing bullshit on someone else.
