<< Another independent software vendor, Journyx, decided to build its
Web-based time-sheet application with open-source components instead of
Java. In this case, company engineers used Python, Linux, Apache and
the PostgreSQL open-source database.

That combination of freely available software allows Journyx to let
prospective customers use the software for free, which builds awareness
of the company, said company founder and CEO Curt Finch. Python is also
quicker to work with than Java, he said.

"Java is an old-style language--I'm not impressed with it. Look at how
much money it takes to get (IBM) WebSphere or (BEA Systems') WebLogic
up and running. It's just an endless stream of development money," said
Finch. >>
