Is Java the only practical choice for webdev?

All other languages are either not compiled languages with static typechecking or have too few eligible users.  C# would also be an option if it wasn't Windows-only.

A few suggestions for improvements:

1. That probably doesn't emit a warning if you forget to check any of the return values, in GCC you can use switch...case with enums (but those are ints so you might be getting some other return value), and in GHC you can use pattern matching (this is optimal).

2. Names are too Enterprise, they should be shortened.  In GHC you have just data Ordering = LT | EQ | GT.
