Somebody in this thread said that Java have a bit too much bureaucracy, and that may be true, but it is that bureaucracy that saves you when the projects grows.


I called Java "wordy", but "bureaucracy" fits too. I personally don't think either is what saves you when your project grows.

I also don't believe that scalability has to equal stupidly verbose syntax and junk like Java Server Faces.

Let's be honest. Java could be a lot better than it is.
