Trendy is not a valuable trait of an implementation language. Solid libraries, tooling and oversight would be more attractive. Java has those, JS does not. r -----Original Message----- From: David Booth [mailto:david@dbooth.org] Sent: Friday, October 27, 2017 9:49 AM To: semantic-web@w3.org; public-rww <public-rww@w3.org>; DBpedia <Dbpedia-discussion@lists.sourceforge.net>; pragmaticweb@lists.spline.inf.fu-berlin.de Subject: Re: "Team" members wanted On 10/27/2017 11:26 AM, Sebastian Samaruga wrote: > [ . . . ] The whole project is > planned to be implemented in Java I'm curious: why Java? Have you considered JavaScript / ES6? JavaScript is now the most widely used programming language[1], and it now has very solid server-side support. A more modern language may attract more volunteers also. Unless there are over-riding concerns pushing you to Java, I would suggest considering JavaScript / ES6. 1. https://stackify.com/trendiest-programming-languages-hottest-sought-programming-languages-2017/ David Booth
