I don't know ruby or rails so probably wrong on this but why does the author say no framework for Java web. How different is Spring from that?

They talk about the programmer which doesn't know neither cares about the language stuff. So what is Spring lacking from that perspective?

"Java is a DSL for taking large XML files and converting them to stack traces"

"XML is like violence. If it doesn't solve your problem, you're not using enough of it."

XML is like a flyer saying "do violence" maybe, it doesn't do anything by itself.
