François Nonnenmacher - On Java:

"In the past height years, while running my company web platform, I've eliminated two major things: Microsoft and Java, the two over which I've lost sleep. The big winner is LAMP with P as in PHP, Python and Perl. The new kid on the block is Ruby on Rails, though I'm watching its hosting aspects like milk on the fire, for some of them remind me too much of Java in terms of bad code, memory leaks and resources consumption."
