Re: EGL vs. Java

Joe Pluta skrev den 31-01-2008 20:44:

EGL, however, is not System i-centric. It is mean to be used by everyone to code everything. It's a PIM, platform independent model, which means that as new technologies come along, they can just tweak things here and there to take advantage of the new technology without disrupting your development.
Sounds great, but they still need to prove it to us :)

In the mean time I have started looking at JRuby with the explicit goal of getting Rails running on System i, and it appears that their generated bytecode is not compatible with the System i classic JVM. This is what I will suggest to our boss that we look at for doing rapid web prototyping when it runs well.
