Thank God Java EE Is Not Like Ajax

Slightlyright writes, "Java Developer's Journal reports that some people in the community are wishing that "Java EE would be more Ajax-like because 'EJB 3.0 can not save Java EE.' This has caused strong reactions from bloggers such as Rich Internet Application pioneer Coach Wei, who wrote: 'Which aspect of Ajax [do] we really want Java EE to be like? The difficulty in developing Ajax code? The difficulty in maintaining Ajax code? The extreme fragile nature of Ajax code? The extremely fragmented nature of Ajax support from different browsers?'"

Which aspect of Ajax?

"Which aspect of Ajax [do] we really want Java EE to be like?"

How about the Web 2.0 part

(Well, sortof a joke)

wow, what an excellent point!

When the guy in the first article said we must stop thinking about "faster bubble sorts"... well, that really hit home for me. Why, me and my buddies spend hours a day trying to improve bubble sorts. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, thinking about bubble sorts. It's hard, man, once we came up with this recursive divide-and-conquer approach--looked not so slow, even quick, but then we realized it wasn't really a bubble sort so we couldn't use it in our programs. Back to the drawing board.

Anyway, just wanted to say that I immediately realized that SOA guy was a real engineer--skilled, one of "us", not a marketroid at all--when I read that quote.

They both contain the letters "Java" ;-)

I know just how you feel! You wouldn't believe how much of my life I've wasting trying to optimize bubble sorts. Quick sort -- bah! Shell sort -- no way! One day I'll find it, the perfect bubble sort, and then we'll see true fear in the eyes of programmers everywhere. (Besides you and me, of course.)

Keep the bubble-sortin' faith, man.

I'm not sure what's more terrifying, the number of buzzwords in the one-sentence parent post, or the fact that I understood them all.

:-p

Bubble Memory optimizes Bubble Sorts

[SimHacker]

Don't you guys trying to optimize your software bubble sorts realize that these days, all the fast sorting action is happening in hardware accelerated Bubble Memory [wikipedia.org]?

Plus, Bubble Memory is much more secure and less obnoxious than Flash Memory (which everybody hates because it has major security holes and displays annoying advertisements). [wikipedia.org]
