Funny, the online registration system that I used Java servlets to write seems pretty darn useful. And because I wrote it in Java and used the Servlets specification, we'll one day be able to move it (not port it) to Linux.
Yeah, we could do it in C++, but why? Speed? Hm, working fine, says we can scale to thousands more folks. Development time? Nope, came together quite quickly.
Yeah, yeah, you can do OO in Perl if you try really hard. And you can write objects in Visual Basic too (or so they claim). Java makes it easy for you, and makes it harder (though not impossible) to do it the wrong way.
Or was Rob bashing java servlets? What exactly do you want people to do? HTML "applications" aren't the way to do things. We want thin clients that run across many platforms, don't we? So to break up the MS stranglehold? But we bash people experimenting with the fledgling version of this technology? What is it that we want, anyway?
I see servlets on webpages for data retrieval, traffic views, heck, even clothes shopping. It seems to work very, very well.
Sounds good, what is it? I've been looking for a 'template' layout that is java-based, and open standards. I remember using a JHTML thing a long time ago, but don't know who made it.

You should write this when the hardware's available!

Hmm, I'm seeing this thing only allowing you to download music from them or their affiliates, a nice way to build a monopolistic empire, eh?
But its just software that would prohibit that, right? How many hours will it take for people to get around it?
