There are other governments, though.

The project in question is a plugin for the Eclipse IDE. They went with an Eclipse license. If this project is not specifically "for people who inhabit that community," then who is it for?

Micronaut predates Quarkus by almost a year, but they both seem to be great frameworks.

As someone who is currently planning a trip to NYC and has been comparing CityPass to its competitors (and versus just buying individual tickets)... Thank you! I will be using this site this weekend to help me make my decisions.

Or it could just be a problem with people over-complicating things. User bradleyjg does a great job of summarizing the scheme in the post just above yours -- it's amazing how much virtual ink has gone into discussing this when things really are that simple.

Sorry, that should be "RDF-A," not "RFD-A."

One of the big things to come out of the semantic web was RFD-A (embedding semantics in unstructured web pages) and similar technologies (microformats, JSON-LD, schema.org). It's what lets Google show product reviews and rankings in search results, and lets shopping aggregator sites show things like price comparisons from other websites. While it's probably not as widespread as its boosters from a decade ago hoped it would be, it did lead to some helpful technologies that are in widespread use now.

I wonder if Facebook won't someday be forced to publish its social graph data in FOAF format the same way Microsoft was forced to publish its Office document specs as part of an anti-trust decision.

Speaking of Facebook, the OpenGraph tags are another example of widely-used semantic data on the web, maybe the most widely-used, since all kinds of sites pull in page summaries, images, and other data from those tags. So while Facebook doesn't make social network data available, it did popularize a format for sharing other types of data (about companies, articles, websites, etc.).

No. Java's "write once, run anywhere" promise is that you would not have to re-compile your source code to target different architectures like you do with C or C++. Docker's promise is that you don't have to rely on external things like databases, filesystem details, and other things _outside your program_ being in place across environments. Same idea, different levels of abstraction.
