  • How Do You Handle Async APIs and Callback Hell?

    Asynchronous APIs are increasingly popular but they are more tedious to program than their synchronous counterparts. How do you handle asynchronous APIs and stay out of Callback Hell?

  • Java 8: Will It See More Rapid Adoption?

    Historically, organizations have tended to move to a new version of a language slowly (witness the looming crisis in Visual Basic 6). However Java 8 is arguably the biggest update to the language in many years and we therefore wondered if it might see a more rapid adoption.

  • What CI Server Do You Use?

    Continuous Integration (CI) is a software development practice where members of a team integrate their work frequently - usually each person integrates at least daily - leading to multiple integrations per day. Each integration is verified by an automated build (including test) to detect integration errors as quickly as possible.

  • How Do You Access Your Relational Data from Java?

    The Java language and platform offers a vast range of options when it comes to working with relational data, from raw JDBC to fully blown Object/Relational mapping (ORM) tools.

  • What Puzzles You Most About Functional Programming?

    With so much diversity, it’s hard to define the exact scope of what exactly functional programming is. Is it a question of how to design your program, that is, using functions as the primary abstraction? Or is it about programming with mathematical functions, meaning pure functions that do not have side effects? And what are those monads again?

  • What's Your Next Language on the Javascript Platform?

    JavaScript VMs are mature and ubiquitous - but what's the best language to write code for it? A long list of languages targeting JavaScript exists, but which one will you use for your next project?

  • What's Your Next JVM Language?

    Is the Java language limiting your programmers' productivity and you're looking for an alternative? Which of the many JVM languages out there will you pick?

  • Why Are You Not Using Functional Languages?

    Functional programming promises many benefits - but its adoption in the industry and the enterprise has been slow. What are the big obstacles to the adoption of functional programming?

  • Top 20 Web Frameworks for the JVM

  • JavaScript MVC Frameworks vs. Compile to JavaScript Languages

    InfoQ is examining the adoption of JavaScript MVC frameworks, compared to languages that transcompile to JavaScript, for front-end development. Please vote and share your opinions.

  • What Are Your Priorities for Java and the JVM?

    This community-driven research, looks at InfoQ readers' priorities for Java 9 and beyond, both language and platform.
