Well, perl is truly portable, truly open source language while Java is
owned by SUN, overly complex and fairly slow monster which tries to be
everything to everybody. Java is going to lose against .NOT because of the
traditional propensity of SUN Microsystems to sc*w up any decent development
tool they get. They did it with Forte, they have almost burried netscape
(it took some time for Mozilla to emerge as a decent alternative), they
all but destroyed Netscape web server (a.k.a "iPlanet") and, quite predictably,
they'll lose against .NOT. The real competitor to ASP are not enterprise java
beans and servlets, the real things that will make a dent in .NOT are Python and
PHP. Note that Python IDE tools are much, much better then anything that Java
has to offer and that Python is much, much easier to learn then Java. Java is
going to join Microsoft Bob, Network computer, SQL*QMX, OEM Change Manager (a bloated and unusable
product which cannot do 50% of the things that Quest Schema Manager does with ease
and which falls apart if the schemas analyzed are much bigger then SCOTT), Wordstar,
Wordperfect, Lotus 123, QuattroPro, DB3+, Clipper and SCO Unix/Xenix. Java in Oracle
is one of the few bad visions that Mr. Ellison has ever had. Network computer is
another one, but is very successfully revived by TIVO. In other words, true believers (TM)
use perl. Infidels use Java, .NOT and other things.
