Topic: Is Java ugly or shining? --- From Chinasmile forum @枫下论坛 The Rolia Forum

I have ever read those artciles. It is really not important whether Java is ugly or not. -dwarf(dwarf); 2001-2-13 {394} (#26102@0)
For those who hate Java, they definitely hail for the point of view in Simson Garfinkel's article.

It is easy to bash others and criticise things we don't like. However,
after critism, what can you offer? Indeed, Java is far from perfect. So where is the perfect thing?

Personally, I think most of facts cited in Garfinkel's paper are true. However, his reasoning is untenable.
I have just read the first and the third after seeing your recommendation. I don't think It is a waste of time for me to read it. Thank you. -old(HH); 2001-2-17 (#26872@0)

As a Java programmer, I didn't get emotional after reading those articles. Actually, I read those articles before Zigzag recommended them. . -jabber(jabber); 2001-2-17 {435} (#27014@0)
It is important to use right technologies at right place. No technologies are perfect. For instance, many people are using EJB because this technology is there. Actually, must usage of EJB in present projects are
"carrying coal to New Castle". ----Here is a point: If you do not do distributed transaction, you had better not use EJB. However, EJB is abused in a lot of projects, so the profermance is getting poorer and poorer

I didn't get emotional too. However I think those articles are worth reading for me. Thank you. -old(HH); 2001-2-18 (#27058@0)
