Is your company thinking of transitioning from java to another technology?
- by Augusto
As every Java developer knows, Oracle bought Sun and the future of java looks quite unclear, specially since Oracle wants to monetize the JVM. Java as a language has also been stale in the last few years, the non-inclusion of closures is one example (which might be included in java 1.8)
At the same time, some new technologies such as Ruby, Scala and Groovy are being used to deliver complex sites.
I'm wondering if there are companies or organizations which are talking, doing spikes or starting to use a different technology, with the idea to stop using java for green field projects, in the same way that 15 years ago companies migrated form C++, perl and other technologies to Java. I'm also interested to know what are the impressions of this happening, for example: planning to migrate to a different technology in 2 years.
To be clear, I'm not asking which technology is better. I'm asking if your organization is thinking to leave Java for another technology.
