It's good to be a Rails programmer

java.net: Migrating from EJB 2.x to EJB 3.0
The EJB 3.0 specification makes programming much simpler. It makes the container do more work and the developers do less work. It decreases the number of programming artifacts for developers to provide, eliminates the requirement to implement ejbcallback methods, and reduces the complexity of the entity bean programming model.
I was just reading this article, and I had one of the “twitchy” moments. You know, those ones where you go… twitch – gawd, I’m glad I don’t have to do this.
I’m not complaining about EJB 3. Oh, no. As an early adopter of Java technology, I’ve been with EJB’s since the beginning, and I think they’ve made huge strides with EJB 3.
But I’m using Ruby on Rails now, so I’ll just skim over the details, shake my head over the complexity, and the XML, and be content that I can do my work without all that icky overhead. It’s GOOD to be a Rails programmer.
