Based on the recent reflection on Ruby and Java debates, Tom McQueney has written a analysis article to express concerns about the threat to the scripting language for Java.
Tom provides a large number of analysis of the recent development history so that we can figure out this:
I think everything we see in the boom of the scripting language is due to the excessive killing for Java in a large number of projects. Just like two years ago, we all admit that EJB has sufficient killing for a large number of projects. Interests for scripting languages may be similar to interest in growth in Spring and Hibernate, just to simplify us application.
Tom is summarized:
... Reason for I am convinced that ruby, python and php will not eliminate Java because they don't have this ability in ten years ... The language of Ruby's script, as well as scripting-based frameworks such as rails will be The next commemoration has gradually increased. However, I still think that Java will disappear. I think the increase in scripting languages will help developers need Java's strength and maturity to make it more accurate to make their own decisions more accurately.
