- 45. David Pollack’s Lift Ratings ‣ Developer Productivity: Lift gets a 11, Rails gets a 5, most Java- based frameworks get a 1 or less. ‣ Developer Perception: Every web framework gets a 1. ‣ Learning Curve: Lift gets a 2. ‣ Job Trends, yep, it's zero. * Matt's scale is 0-1 and my ratings are on Matt's scale, except mine goes to 11. http://lift.la/my-take-on-matt-raibles-spreadsheet 45 © 2013 Raible Designs
- 46. Peter Thomas’s Perfbench ‣ Seam / JSF vs. Wicket Performance Comparison - January 2009: Seam 2.1.1 and Wicket 1.3.5 - Average page response time in milliseconds 46 © 2013 Raible Designs
- 47. Peter Thomas’s Perfbench ‣ On the Seam / JSF side, the 20 sessions each take up about 800 KB adding up to around 16 MB total. On the Wicket side the 20 sessions add up to around 1.5 MB. ‣ + Lots of banter between Peter and Seam developers @ http://bit.ly/3X50Gc 47 © 2013 Raible Designs
- 48. Peter Thomas’s Perfbench ‣ Added Tapestry 5 and Grails in September 2009: - Grails was far more productive than Tapestry 5. - Grails still has some ways to go in terms of performance. - Overall, Wicket is fastest, with Tapestry coming a close second. - Wicket takes up the least amount of heap. - Session usage of the Seam + JSF combination is significantly higher compared to the rest. 48 © 2013 Raible Designs
