That's really interesting. Are these big companies that have given up on
major projects?
In my experience, the only thing that compares to Java in its desire to be
the only major application running on a server is Oracle (which seems to eat
as much shared memory as it get its paws on). We sell an appliance product
and have always resisted installing a JVM on it, despite the value it would
bring, because of the memory issue.
