101 Reasons Why Java is Better than .NET

阅读更多

1. Public Domain APIs - Any Java public apis are part of the public domain, .NET apis are proprietary and can open the door to a law suit.
2. Standard Library Source Code Availability - Java source code for the core libraries are available in every J2SDK distribution, .NET sources can only be seen by resorting to illegal means.
3. dotNet Purity Is A Myth - Java promotes 100% pure Java libraries, for .NET purity is nothing more than a myth.
4. 75% Of Enterprise Software Development - Avoid becoming one of the 25% of "use-less" employees.
5. Preferred Platform for Implementing WebServices - Despite billions spent by Microsoft in marketing, surveys continue to reveal that Java is the preferred platform when it comes to Web Services.
6. Superior Platform for Web Development - ASP.NET is a poorly designed and crippled framework as compared to the richness of frameworks found in Java.
7. Write Stored Procedures using Java - Most relational databases support writing of stored procedures in the Java language. There has yet to be a production release of a database that supports any .NET languages.
8. An Abundance of Experienced Practitioners - Nobody seems to know how to write .NET programs well and that's giving .NET a bad name! A pretty lame excuse I must say!
9. Supportive Open Source Communities - Open Source communities that support distributed development are a plenty in the Java world.
10. Proven Security - 2 Years after Trust Worthy initiative is launched and we collectively lose $55 billion last year.
11. No Lizard Brain - .NET programmers continue to struggle with the complexities of a hybrid managed/unmanaged environment.
12. More Languages - The JVM is more "common" than the CLR.
13. Smaller Runtime Download - You can't run your app if you don't have the runtime.
14. No Mandatory Upgrade Fees - 3 things a Microsoft shop can't avoid: Death, Taxes and License 6.
15. More Vendor Choices - .Net is a marketing program. Java is a Market.
16. Industrial Strength Collection Classes - The .Net libraries look like they were designed by high-school students, First year CompSci? students at best.
17. FutureProof - The way to ensure your return on investment (i.e. ROI) is that your choice of platform doesn't get obsolete in 5 or even 10 years. Avoid the Microsoft upgrade treadmill!
18. Larger Talent Pool - Majority of Universities not only teach but require knowledge of Java. That's a big talent pool that you need to consider before you off-shore your project to a different time-zone.
19. More Contributions From Researchers - Research institutions and universities have consistently provided innovative research not only built on top of Java but also contributing to Java.
20. US Government Approved - Guess where the billions of dollars spent on the U.S. government's IT renovation is going to?
21. NoEvilTypeCoercion - Some C++ constructs are meant to be entombed forever, .NET resurrects them with disastrous consquences.
22. More Mature And Robust O/R Mapping - You can't beat the wealth of O/R mapping solutions found in Java.
23. Superior Coding Tools - Like having your own personal Java fairy dancing through your code, anticipating your every thought and keystroke.
24. Sane Coding Conventions - I don't know what's worse Hungarian notation or .NET coding conventions.
25. Higher Paying Jobs - Somehow you've got to afford those skyrocketing housing prices don't you?
26. Favored for Implementing P2P - Gnutella and JXTA, anything else legally more pervasive?
27. PureJavaRDMS - Can't beat the ease of installation when the RDMS is Java based and packaged with the application in a .zip file.
28. More exception Handling Options - .NET has no analog to the throws clause in method signatures.
29. Better Structured Diagramming Frameworks - When going beyond forms and windows, Java can't be beat.
30. Reusable Open Source IDE Frameworks - Why re-invent the wheel? Start building your killer GUI application on top of killer IDE frameworks.
31. RobustParserGenerators - Want to build a new language, well you'll need some robust parser building tools.
32. AspectOrientedProgramming - The next advance in modular software development, get a head start by using Java.
33. PureJavaWebServers - Customizations and extensions are easier in a web container that's built using the same language as applications. Furthermore, managed environments support better reliability and security.
34. OpenSourceJavaCompilers - Your tools have got to be able to parse the code before it has any chance in understanding it.
35. Distributed Caching - Sometimes embarassingly parallel applications aren't the only things that you need to scale.
36. MultipleReliableMessagingChoices - Java provides more choices for the backbone that integrates the Enterprise.
37. Faster Development Turnaround - Incremental compilation is unavailable in the .NET environment.
38. Lightweight Persistence - Sometimes a relational database (RDMS) has too big a footprint.
39. Open Community Process - How does one contribute to the specification of standards?
