Why the JVM?
Java is a popular programming language choice because it offers a large ecosystem of libraries and tools, runs on a virtual machine making it cross-platform, and is well-suited for cloud computing. The Java VM allows applications to leverage a huge number of existing libraries and products, while also providing portability across different operating systems. Additionally, Java is considered more cloud-ready than .NET due to its open platform and Microsoft's weakening hold on .NET.

Editor's Notes
- #2 Coming from .NET background .NET in Rafael Worked in MSSee/made mistakes in choosing .NET in past few projects (xsights, IAF, CodeValue)
- #3 anything from fast and efficient serialization to tooling for map/reduce to memory data grids to application servers and communications A lot of them are open sourced an free with permissive licenses
- #4 The Java platform is much more rich than the .NET one No need to reinvent the wheel – more time to focus on building business advantage E.g. ESBAuthenticationAuthorizationMediationService RegistryAudit TrailLoggingTracing.Net / Java interoperability Rule engines NoSQL databases (Cassandra, Hbase, MongoDb, Redis…)
- #5 Windows and Linux Reuse code between engines and servicesIncreased flexibility (l
- #6 No vendor lock-inE.g. Hadoop ClouderaIBMMaprEMCNetappMellanoxHortonworksEven Microsoft is working on one
- #7 Even Azure supports Javahttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/interop/
- #8 Microsoft itself never fully adopted .NETOffice, Windows, SQL all have .NET interoperability written in C++Windows 8 has WinDiv winning over DevDivWinRT (COM is back) C++11 (C++0x ) has a lot of power (lamdas, closures, type infernece etc.DevDiv “lost” a lot of leaders to other groups e.g. Scott GuthrieAzure is taking a lot of resources
