Ay yi yi. Maybe go back and reread what I wrote. I didn't use Struts, and the original app was written at a time when that was an accepted "meta."

I've used Spring Boot. We'll have to "agree to disagree" that it's "productive."

All these things that people are stacking on top of Java are just trying to implement concepts and features that Rails has had for 15 years, and they're still nowhere near as "productive."
