I'll say this for the Java stack

Once I got my ant scripts fully configured and working on my development machine, it ran correctly the first time out on the build machine. Given that the former is Windows and the latter is Linux, that's no small thing. Yay for virtual machines and OS abstraction...

The project that I'm currently working on is compiled under Windows XP. The 'executables' also run under Solaris 8, and Linux that I'm certain of.

Java's a good idea. It's just implemented badly.
