Things To Look Into

Where has the all the Java excitement gone?

Continuing my tradition of making a list of things that I ought to know. Here's a few things that I think merits some deeper examination:

JBoss Seam <--JSF&EJB3 framework, no Springs, no Struts, just an app server and me
The announcement is here. The product page is here. The documentation is here. More info here. Accolades here.
LINQ <--Language INtegrated Query, sprinkle selects in C# code
The video is here. The in depth coverage is here. The debate is here, here, and here. And of course the podcast is here (actually here.)

I should list more items, but I really couldn't find anything more that's worth writing about. Indeed, nowadays when Java people meet, the conversation goes something like this: "What's new in the Java world?" "Nothing. Everything is old news now—AOP, Spring, Hibernate, etc."

Don't make me learn Ruby! <scream/>
