No longer are conversation about what is the best Java Web framework very interesting. With the onslaught of new programming languages for the JVM, that conversation has shifted to one about which technologies make the best mix for a Java Web application. There are so many languages and framework available for the JVM today, that the Web framework itself is no longer a major concern. Its really about what language you want to be coding in which layer.

I am very excited about the upcoming year. The recession has held back many of the new technologies from taking off in a big way on the JVM in 2009. However, JVM enthusiasts have been hard at work learning and innovating with the many new languages and technologies available today. When the economy picks, I have no doubt we will see dramatic changes in the JVM technology landscape.
