When I see this, I get the urge to create a movie trailer about a little boy who grows up with a angry java programmer as a father. During the family dinner the young boy says: "Father I am a Rubyist! Primitive datatypes in java are just so...primitive. I want to do metaprogramming, and create beatiful code in dynamic languages with type inference and real closures. Besides almost none of the most visited websites in the world uses java."
Java is in heavy usage at Ebay, Google and now Twitter.
If anything, I would worry about the future of .NET, seeing that even die hard enthusiasts of the platform jump ship on starting startups ... does anyone have a list of noteworthy startups using .NET?
