Departure Of The Java Hyper-Enthusiasts?

Posted by Zonk on from the just-calm-enthusiasts-left dept.

TomH writes "Bruce Eckel has an article at Aritma, where he posits that 'The Java hyper-enthusiasts have left the building, leaving a significant contingent of Java programmers behind, blinking in the bright lights without the constant drumbeat of boosterism.' Has the previous hype of Java and J2EE moved on to Ruby (on Rails) and Python?"

    I'm not really qualified to comment on this (this admission may be a first in Slashdot history) since I've never coded in Java, but I will note that the CS programs at both my university and my brother's high school have recently switched from C++ to Java. I'm not sure what exactly this signals, though.
