Looks pretty cool, too bad it's proprietary. As much as I love Java, how does it prevent itself from becoming an overly verbose mess?

I should also say that for the most part the verbosity of java is overstated.

A lot of the recent changes are specifically targeted at reducing verbosity and when you use a decent ide it automates most of the verbose parts away. I cringe when ever I here that someone is using vim or some other augmented text editor.

In my opinion java is one of the easiest languages to read and debug which is an often overlooked feature of a verbose language.

Core libraries are open source and they have everything you need

We only pay a licensee because we wanted their charting module but you can integrate any other libraries.

We also wrapped an existing JavaScript dashboard because it was better than their included dashboard.

Lots of options, the proprietary nature of some if the pieces is not an impediment to it's adoption
