Fred Oliveira on Ajax and Java

I thought this was a very good take by Fred Oliveira on some comments that Tim O’Reilly made and I wanted to highlight them here. Fred’s spot on when he says that the time for Java on the web (as a front end mind you) is gone. There are just too many other solutions that are more complete.

Ajax hasn’t “beaten” Java, but it has shown a lot of people a better way. As people demand more from their platforms, Ajax will go back to being a helper technology, something it does very well.
