#22Are there still any reasons why one should choose Java instead of .Net for new developments?
web programming in C# is not very good. Although I like C# as a language. I hate ASP.NET and the way it is built. Java has much better support for writing web applications and tons of open source libraries.
There are alternatives, I like this one: http://nancyfx.org/

:) Probably because Java runs without problems on Windows and *IX platforms without major problems.

Probably because Java runs without problems on (Windows) and (IX platforms without major problems).
FTFY ;-)

There are many, many more good libraries for Java in Maven Central than for .NET in Nuget. OS independence, if not quite platform independence, has informed much of those libraries' development.
Maven, love it or hate it, can do a staggering number of things, some of them very useful.
JAX-RS servers and clients are more robust IME on Java. (Just try to find a capable path+querystring builder for .NET.)
JDBC is still the gold standard for database connectivity.

#25For anyone on Windows willing to switch to OpenJDK, there are builds from - Azul: http://www.azul.com/downloads/zulu/ - RedHat: https://developers.redhat.com/products/openjdk/overview/ - JetBrains: https://bintray.com/jetbrains/intellij-jdk
Apparently people keep forgetting who pays the majority of OpenJDK developers.

#26Great news for Golang. Time to switch if you have not.

But something something something Aspergers something picking feet something
What evidence can you present that Richard Stallman has Aspergers?
I think he means in jest that people have constantly talked about Stallman's quirks that are honestly gross but shouldn't take away from what he says regarding technology.

I've been using Java on Linux in production for more than 7 years and have never had any problems associated with the OS choice.

I definitely love Nancy since it's basically Sinatra for C# (IIRC Nancy was inspired by Sinatra).
