@thecreativeone91 Java is older than .NET. Java is what it was based on. Java has always been the more viable option. There was a time when there was Java and PHP. But never a time when .NET and PHP were the options.
I am biased against Java from too many years of poor corporate decision making forcing Java based clients down on us.
I'll build it in .Net every time.
You had bad server side clients? Or just client side? One big difference is that .NET had great client side, but non-cross platform support. Java has horrible, but cross platform client support.
But for server side, both are awesome but I'd take Java nine times out of ten over .NET. But wouldn't avoid .NET, it is great too.

And if you like functional programming...
.NET has F# and Java has Clojure.

Or you can build it in PHP. Whoever said PHP isn't versatile really hasn't taken a deep dive into it. You can even write full GUI applications (for Windows only, AFAIK) with it...(granted, I've played with it, and it ain't fun...)
How is that not versatile?
Granted PHP may not always be the BEST language to program something in... but it can definitely be done.

Client side, and I know that has nothing to do with server side java development. but it still does not stop me from having a horrible mental image just thinking about coding java.
First impressions and all of that.

In 2003 it was pretty limiting.

Fortunately I got to work with it in big finance where it really shines. Low latency, massive scaling, loads of features. It is pretty awesome there.

Yep that's is about when the current website was started as far as the backend code. I think the Design has changed a lot.

DNS filter really shows of the power of Java to Nxfilter is fully Java and works a million times better than any proxy server. http://www.nxfilter.org/p2/

@scottalanmiller There's almost always creative ways to get things done... Even if they are a bit outside of the box... outside of the box in somebody else's garage, lol.
I didn't really get in to PHP much until around 2005 or so. That may have been the case in 2003.

PHP was very young then. It has been growing steadily in capability since then. It is very powerful now, but it has really stiff competition now too.

Don't know who said it, but competition breeds excellence!
