So What?
Web development, for all its usefulness, often happens with a curious inelegance. It's kind of like making sausage. I like the result, but I don't want to see how it's made. Web programming in Java was better than web programming in alternative languages. It gave you more structure with easier maintenance and, often, better scalability than Visual Basic or Perl-based approaches, and an easier programming model than C++. But for all the benefits, certain problems make it seem clunky and awkward.
