Re: [xwiki-users] Is java good enough as the core language of xwiki?

I skimmed through that rant against PHP and I feel we are living in a holy world by manipulating Java. The language is frustrating at the beginning and that's intended, it makes a language that keeps us happy for quite a bit. I cannot really feel any of the rants expressed there to be applicable to Java. Especially because of the flexibility of refactoring there's almost always well designed workarounds. I know python since shortly for a little bit and I must say that the non-freedom-to-indent may be something that bothers me considerably. But at the end the big difference is the toolset and library wealth. Both are considerable for Java and are far less for most other languages. I'd claim this wealth stems from the design of the language (certainly for the IDE tools). Paul
