Agree with most of what you say but I *would* expect a .Net guy to like jsp's since they are so similar to each other. Me, I *never* use jsp's. MVC for me HTML served by the FreeMarker template framework with native servlets accessing the DB. jsp's mix and match HTML and Java and don't get me started on Struts and Spring (write once and configure EVERYWHERE)....

Most of my stuff is Javascript now that JSON and Ajax are the tools de jore. I use Java at the back end because I can write the whole tamale on my laptop and deploy to something secure and stable like IBM i.....

Didn't MS have a version of windows that ran on power (early on)? I am surprised that IBM didn't pick up and run with. Imagine how fast Windows could crash on a Power 7! You'd hardly see that blue screen of death. But those constant security updates would apply quicker.... ;-)

But that's just me :-)

JSP is just as easy if not easier and same with Java, so why mix ?

Also, I can do a new web or mobile app much, much faster using ASP.Net, but those afraid of .Net would not know that fact :-)

RPG isn't bad either. Anyone seen my jQueryMobile sample yet ? :-)

I'm still irked by the fact that IBM doesn't embrace MS technology on the i, especially when their own internal team did an R&D project to port the Mono runtime to PASE/AIX and it got deep-sixed.

When I have more free get time to learn another new language just for fun it will probably be Javascript as that's more and more the UI language of choice :-)
