1st conference day

As a wrap-up of the first sessions, here are keypoints:

• As Java 8 emerges with functional constructions, the hype about dynamic languages on the JVM is less accute than before.
• Angular JS get its first public criticisms. The non-compatible changes in 2.0 is irritating more than one. It keeps its appeal but the community does not see it has a silver bullet anymore.
• Docker has a significant momentum. The incredible rate of adoption in its first year is quite unique in my eyes. It opens many possibilities, mainly due to its light weight.
• Awareness about integration issues (distibuted computing fallacies) is raising. A sign that web integration, microservices in the cloud are a reality today.
