How many "professional software architects" saw Hibernate and Oracle as a hammer to every problem? MongoDB can be an excellent solution for professionals for many problems.

The guy above me who mentioned Groovy got downvoted, not me. I only commented when I saw his relevant comment starting to grey out.

by va_coder 15y ago
This is exactly what I thought. side note: Why would anyone downvote this? What is a downvote? Does it mean it's not true? Should we downvote everything we don't agree with? Is this some kind of competition?

"Scala would have a positive impact on recruiting" I'll bet this is a big Yes for Scala, Groovy or Clojure compared to Java.

Thanks for the link. I guess I'm trying to figure out why there's so much excitement about a server that is not designed to spread the workload to multiple cores for you.

by va_coder 15y ago
Are there plans to take advantage of multiple cores automatically? Couldn't it do something like Nginx and spread the workload to multiple cores?

Anybody know why RAM is so expensive in the cloud? I can go to BestBuy and get a 8GB server for 600 bucks these days.

Or you could simplify that and just alternate between Chipotle one day and Potbelly the next.

What's to stop a disgruntled software dev who gets treated this way from secretly using his knowledge to support an open source competitor? It doesn't have to be anything close to a line by line copy, just subtle hints here are there abou

I studied Clojure and I hope really cool stuff comes out. When Rails came out it solved all kinds of new problems. For one, by using metaprogramming a whole bunch of files were eliminated. As soon as Rails came out I was much more producti

I was around before Rails, back when Tapestry, Wicket and Appfuse projects were making my life easier. How does Clojure for Web development make my life easier? is the question that should be asked. Clojure's been popular in the hacker com

Here's what I don't get about Clojure fans: I don't see what problems you are solving. A simple Hello World program is made in Clojure and it gets upvoted all day. On the other hand Ruby on Rails folks are solving real problems today, mak

I agree. But time is on their side. The mobile OSes and browsers on them will only get faster over time.

"eliminate unnecesary state" What is it you said that I didn't?
144.
by va_coder 15y ago
I don't think so. Clojure is about using more verbs and less nouns (that store state). It's designed to manage LESS state, if any at all.

IndexTank as opposed to WebSolr has a proprietary api. I don't think you can easily move the data to your own servers like you can with WebSolr
