Re: Why is java considered a language for "web" or "internet" programming?

No not the languages alone, but the platform does. Because of all the libraries and web frameworks that exists for the platform that makes web programming simple.

I am not saying it necessarily makes it simpler than e.g. perl or php, but I wouldn't know since I haven't worked in such web project in a long time and therefore don't know much about what libraries/frameworks they use.
