Java is becoming the new Cobol

I do. For my shrink-wrap web-app I will do next year, Ruby, Python and PHP are not a viable choice.

JRuby or Rhino? Why not have best of all worlds.

Shrink-wrap is the keyword here. Imagine FogBugz written in IronRuby.

Fair enough. Yes shrink wrap is not "in vogue" so the particular issues it has are often ignored on the internets ;)

I would bet that's only because you haven't looked hard enough. If you know Java already that's what you feel like you'll need to use, but honestly it's probably not true. Good Luck, I hope Java works out for you.

I dare to bet with you. Give me the exact number.

We did research into Ruby/Python/PHP and none could help us more than Java.

You know, Rails/CakePHP/Django/TurboGears are not silver bullet.
