The Java Stupidity: "Java Kicks Ruby on Rails in the Butt"
The java stupidity - why they try so hard to impose than Java is better? It’s not true! The article’s subheading is: “This article demonstrates that Java is more productive than Ruby.”

Hmm, I should probably implement getting things by anonymous users into the feeds.. I was going to submit this, but I don’t want it on here twice :)
I’ve added some notes to tighten it up a little.
I like his java db migration code :p
The problem in not Ruby+Rails vs Java. The thing is that Rails is using old crappy SQL.. Viva XML !
sick guy with some sick joke? :)
Old rails convention, web vs windows application and SQL db migrations… awesomeness!!
Whhaaaa…
He compares Rails scaffolding versus his soft that seems to make some reverse engineering on models and displays a “good looking UI” automaticaly.
May someone tells him that Rails is a full framework not just some kind of scaffolding generator? Thanks.
And if he wants something that creates a beautiful UI based on models, he can also find it in Rails : ActiveScaffold. But I don’t like these kind of plugins…
Wow, that really was a poorly written article. The author clearly does not fully understand the concepts behind Rails, nor does he really know how to use/develop using Rails (no mention of migrations in his article).
And his point about model driven frameworks vs MVC frameworks is poor and pretty stupid, but if he prefers magic happening in the background then good on him.
I can’t work out whether this is a joke or not…
No, the article wasn’t meant to be a joke. That it sounds like a joke is a completely different story. It is quite obvious that he’s only had a taste of rails, and not actually used it.
Unfortunately, there’s no place I can submit comments on that site.
openxava looks good, i’ll give it that but as mentioned above, he’s missing quite a big part of the picture out.
I developed Java web apps for a loooooong time - over a decade. I would never write OR deploy (almost as bad as coding) a java webapp ever again. Java was good for what it was during that time. Even if he didn’t use Rails much I know where he’s coming from on both sides. XML and configuration is the achilles heel in Java web dev, imho. While slower, Rails ActiveRecord has it right when it comes to the db layer - parse the tables out in runtime and don’t make me do all kinds of time wasting config. But that’s only one reason why I’ll keep coding in Rails over Java. Plus, Rails just ‘gets it’ when it comes to web dev. Java has been surpassed - for web development - and will always play catch up.
I stopped reading after the word “scaffolding”
