Xavier Casellato, a fellow colleague at Liligo, will appear on Web Conference Hungary. His note been introduced as follows:
"Who has never juggled with "Business (guys') change requests" and faced the rigidity of compiled languages? Ride Rhino with Java and increase your reactivity by turning your application into a highly flexible one."
I'm excited with this Rhino stuff. It is a relatively fast JavaScript engine/implementation written in Java and well known for buzz word leechers.

I would not dare to say it out loud, but yeah, embedded scripts has certain advantages, but why not use a script language for the whole system?
Yeah, Java is scalable, but Tomcat dies on me, deployment is a pita, cpu usage kills me and jsp without a functional environment is just meant to suck.
A good question! You know my opinions about how Java conquered the web, mainly the enterprise world...
We all know the advantages using a self-contained system (system in a virtual machine etc.) but it has some disadvantages too. And not just the containers like Tomcat; eg. Jetty is pretty much smaller but still powerful. Both consume resources, a lot.
Java purists incline to say this huge hype is because the language is cool. I think even PHP code can be cool regardless of the weird language. People and businesses spent loads of resource on Java so it has rich fetaure list, a list that cannot be achieved by Python or even Ruby - they simply dont have enough attention, money and all that.
So I'm at least dubious on Java and hope other open source languages will get more attention and good solutions like Rubinius for Ruby.
The language is so UNCOOL it amuses me day after day: I dislike strongly typed and rigid languages and will always vote for the javascript or ruby over Java - but it's just a matter of taste I guess.
