200 developers on a project ? Scaring ..... They should use another technology than Java to go under 50 developers. They will save a lot of money :)<div><br></div><div>Laurent<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2012/1/28 Janko Mivšek <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:janko.mivsek@eranova.si">janko.mivsek@eranova.si</a>&gt;</span><br>

<br>
Ralph Johnson in his InfoQ interview made an interesting observation:<br>
<br>
2:55 minute: &quot;Smalltalk made an fundamental error ... image ... you can<br>
build something with 4-5 people what 50 people can build in Java, but if<br>
you take 200 people in Java ... it is really designed for small systems<br>
...  &quot;<br>
<br>
Are we because of the image really destined for relatively small<br>
projects and small systems (of Java 50 people project size)?<br>
<br>
Are we really not able to scale to bigger projects/systems because of that?<br>
<br>
Ok, there are few exceptions of course (JPMorgan, OOCL, ..), but still...<br>
