Apache Geronimo vs. Eclipse GlassFish vs. Unlambda vs. dbForge Query Builder for SQL Server Comparison Chart

Apache Geronimo is an open-source set of projects that are focused on providing JavaEE/JakartaEE libraries and Microprofile implementations. We are actively delivering reusable Java EE components though. They are widely used and still actively maintained! Apache Geronimo provides libraries for the implementations of the Java EE and Jakarta EE specifications. The implementations are also focused on providing OSGi bundle metadata. The goal of XBean project is to create a plugin-based server analogous to Eclipse is a plugin-based IDE. XBean will be able to discover, download and install server plugins from an Internet-based repository. In addition, we include support for multiple IoC systems, support for running with no IoC system, JMX without JMX code, lifecycle and class loader management, and rock-solid Spring integration. Apache Geronimo hosts several Microprofile implementations. Apache Geronimo Arthur is an effort to build a thin layer on top of Oracle GraalVM.

Unlambda is a programming language. Nothing remarkable there. The originality of Unlambda is that it stands as the unexpected intersection of two marginal families of languages. Functional programming languages, of which the canonical representative is Scheme (a Lisp dialect). This means that the basic object manipulated by the language (and indeed the only one as far as Unlambda is concerned) is the function. Rather, Unlambda uses a functional approach to programming: the only form of objects it manipulates are functions. Each function takes a function as an argument and returns a function. Apart from a binary “apply” operation, Unlambda provides several built-in functions (the most important ones being the K and S combinators). User-defined functions can be created, but not saved or named, because Unlambda does not have any variables.
