- 17. Is Java still relevant to Digital Development?
- 18. “Clear standard alternatives to Java and C# for custom-developed applications do not exist. There are issues with many of the alternatives. For example, BPM tools are great for defining and implementing processes but a poor choice for implementing compelling user experiences. The market for application dev tools is beginning to change though. The next generation of app dev tools will: • Dramatically increase developer productivity. • Allow developers to delegate change to business end users.” Mike Gualitieri Forrester, November 2010

- 42. Java EE & Java SE Strengths • Java 8 has Lambdas has functional interfaces • Java 9 will have modularity • 9-10 million developers world-wide • Mature JVM – fast and strong performance • Alternative JVM languages Scala, Clojure, Groovy and others • Standards – DRY, NIH, YAGNI, WET • Open Source frameworks aplenty • It a fertile bed for competition to grow: Spring Framework and others • Java platform has a strong steward in Oracle
- 43. Java Weaknesses • Classic Java has boilerplate, but at least New Java 8 has Lambdas has functional interfaces • Java lacks a Read-Evaluate-Print-Loop (REPL), but alternative JVM language do have this feature • Companies probably will drag their feet, upgrading to the new Java sooner than later – the classic technology adoption lifecycle of innovators, early adopters, early and late majority; and laggards.
