in thread Popularity of Perl vs. availability of Perl developers

Remember - 90% of every Perl application you will ever write is already on CPAN. ... There is no equivalent repository for Java.
What about this? Granted, it's not as vast as CPAN, but it's only been around since April 2005, too.

    JSAN is a similar effort for Javascript. If they work, then that's great! At the moment, there's no equivalent repository for Java. Ruby kinda has one, as does Python, but they're not anywhere near as extensive or battle-tested.
    My criteria for good software:
    1. Does it work?
    2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
