will someone write that java or at least jvm doesn't kill babies?

i remember how someone saw an xml config in my java-based software demo and judged it's innovatiiveness based on it. and it was not even mine, it was standard web.xml!..

i think the main thing is not be religious about formats.

If they're dumb enough to judge the innovativeness of software based on something like that, their opinion is probably irrelevant.

If the software doesn't care about ease of configuration, what else doesn't it care about?

thanks, just hope they're not consulting investors that seem to tend to love simplified statements

Java has won. It is the COBOL of our generation. The reason why people hate Java is because they don't want to be programming Java - they want to be coding in something cooler. But the thing is, trendy doesn't necessarily equate to stability.
