Hey PJ, I like your posts because you have the historical background on a lot of this stuff that industry has mostly forgotten.

But... Since you mentioned it, I actually have read J2EE and WebObjects documentation. And I conclude that WebObjects was shit. It drew the 'Web MVC' line at the completely wrong place. Nobody ever cared about about DOEs or whatever, they just wanted a database driver. You look at this huge pile of industry crap and its no wonder why Rails was successful.

Successful in some domains.

The daily Rails projects on HN is long gone, people eventually moved on into Clojure, than Elixir, Gleam, nowadays I lost track where to.

Some folks that missed out history lessons are now trying CORBA/J2EE with WebAssembly, WIT, and Kubernetes.

Yeah, I chose Rails just an example, could be PHP, could be Elixir, could be this dumbass bun shit, whatever is cool man and get you that VC.

I cannot recall any 'Show HNs' based on J2EE, not that it doesn't work.

Usually enterprise apps don't do Show HNs.

I concede you like to talk to yourself.
