Re^2: Company considers recoding Java app in Perl

What FUD do you mean? Whenever I happen to stumble on a page with a Java applet while browsing the Net my computer basically just stops responding for several seconds. Whenever I start the stupid IP Phone application we have here it stops responding for 15-30 seconds. Not just that it takes 15 seconds for the app to appear, nothing else gets to do anything until Java loads and initializes and does other things I don't want to know about. Yep, FUD. Pull the other one.

XML sucks. Badly. SOAP on the other hand is the most powerfull vacuum pump ever invented.

We are not talking about Java applets here. This is about sites with a backend coded in Java and no Java on the frontend. That is the primary market for Java and has been for years. Applets were a short-lived fad.	[reply]

Damn, I wish you could convince Rational of that. ClearQuestWeb uses Java applets coming out the wazoo, and I've seen their new version - which has become one big Java applet. I'm not actually trying to disagree with you here: I really do honestly wish someone would give Rational a cluestick! (Although the Java applet version is more likely to work on my Linux/Firefox system than the current ASP-based application which only really likes IE6.)	[reply]
