Which other programming language has similarity to Java?

Question

I am a Java professional. Now I like to move other programming language. Can anybody suggest me which programming language would be better to digest soon and language has web devlopment features .I am interested in web-devlopment.

Answer 1

C# - web-development is very good (Just look at this website) and the code is 'similar' to java.

Below provides a good example of how to approach the transition

http://www.25hoursaday.com/CsharpVsJava.html

The C# language is an object-oriented language that is aimed at enabling programmers to quickly build a wide range of applications for the Microsoft .NET platform. The goal of C# and the .NET platform is to shorten development time by freeing the developer from worrying about several low level plumbing issues such as memory management, type safety issues, building low level libraries, array boundschecking , etc. thus allowing developers to actually spend their time and energy working on their application and business logic instead. As a Java developer the previous sentence could be described as "a short description of the Java language and platform" if the words C# and the .NET platform were replaced with words Java and the Java platform.

Answer 2

Why not look at Grails ? It's based on Groovy (a JVM/Java language, so you can leverage off your Java knowledge) and allows web development in a RoR fashion.

Answer 3

Scala is a general purpose language which runs on the JVM, so you can use your existing Java knowledge. Also take a look here .

It has a web framework called Lift .

Answer 4

If you want to add another programming language to your capabilities, I'd recommend C# as well, because it's not related to Java (but close enough to re-use your existing skills).

If you need something else because you want to dig into web development - why not look at the Google Web Toolkit (GWT) and create javascript based web application with Java language only?

Answer 5

Take a look at Scala . You can use all Java API with this elegant language.

Answer 6

我认为是C＃编程语言。

Answer 7

Probably C#.

It allows web-development using Asp.net, which is a pretty popular platform.

Also, C# was, I believe, based on Java, so it has a lot of the same ideas.

Answer 8

While hated by most Java developers (or developers in general), I would prefer JavaFX... it is VERY easy to learn if you have some Java knowledge (you can easily learn the language itself within less than 3 days), and it is designed for RIAs, though you can use it as a full replacement for Java.

Learning the JavaFX Script Programming Language

is a good place to start.

Oh, and one nice thing about JavaFX: You can use all existing Java APIs from within JavaFX (afaik).
