Spring.IO is well suited for startups because it allows for fast prototyping and development through Spring Boot. It provides numerous modules that handle common tasks like security, data access, and integration. As a mature and well-structured framework, Spring provides reliable and expertly designed projects and conventions. While Java may seem like a legacy technology, the Spring framework addresses pain points for Java developers and provides an easy and flexible programming model for building applications with the support of a large community.

26. Quote #1
Java is considered a mature - some
even say legacy - technology these
days. The programming communities
(Ruby, Scala, JavaScript etc.) promise
faster development time and thus
might appeal as a better choice for
startups.

27. Quote #2
The Spring framework however has
always had an eye on pain points Java
developers had with the current state of
the Java eco-system. It revolutionized the
server programming model back in 2002
with dependency injection and aspect
oriented programming.

28. Quote #3
JVM and Java as the mature foundation,
the Spring framework and it's eco system
provide a programming model for today's
developer's challenges and is easy and
flexible to deploy as well as Spring Boot
on top as an opinionated and pragmatic
approach to all the options for superb
developer productivity.

2. Pretty obvious code
3. Good maintenance
4. Extensible
5. Perspective

code)
