I don't like to generalize either. I've been on two projects where we
have replaced Perl applications with Java applications. The first one
was a content management system and the second was an online dating
application(like match.com).
In both cases we ended up with Java applications that performed
better than the Perl applications.
The reasons ?
- Maybe it was because our Java developers were
better than our Perl developers.
- Maybe we had learned something the second time implementing the
application. Better architecture, system design, etc.
- Maybe Java was better suited for the actual applications.
In the end there is however no proof to claim that Java applications
are faster than mod_perl applications.
But having Java in the PgSQL backend would be nice for some, regardless
of how well Java compares to Perl.
