Google trends proves: Java is doomed
Published May 11th, 2006 in Groovy and Grails, Java, Software developmentGoogle trends is a nice idea, and I had to apply it adhoc to Java, Ruby, Python and C#. Interesting results, I can see a decline in Java! We’re doomed :-)
And the Rails evangelists jump in and present this. Probably people would search for that or even that because Rails mostly doesn’t find RoR though. All others ignore the quabble and use Jetty or Grails.
For fun try this.
Update: Searching for Web 2.0 creates a nice graph and close to my heart: wiki.
How about these alternatives:
Ruby on Rails, JSF
Ruby on Rails, Struts
Ruby on Rails, Java Struts
java programming, ruby programming, python programming, c# programming
I suspect when everyone already does struts and JSF, noone will search for them on Google :-)
A good point. I think that holds for Struts, but not so much for JSF. For instance, JSF is still rising (evidence for its newness), but it’s not rising as fast as RoR.
Side note, I haven’t done more than 15 minutes with RoR, and I haven’t done JSF at all. So I’m not very affiliated with either.
Oh, and thanks for cleaning up my links.
Oh, and the C# part of my link still needs fixed it seems. Sorry for the trouble with that. (And maybe 2-3 hours with Rails is more accurate, but I still didn’t get very deep.)
I’ve been doing RoR in some projects and I really like it. It’s fast. Now I like Grails more. Never done JSF, it got a lot of bad press and flak from the splintered, agressive and very competitive Java web framework “community”. And I’ve got the impression the current hyped things are wicket, seam et. al.
