This replaced the WebSphere sMash mash-up and Groovy with Java and WebSphere Liberty to power the RESTful services.I also worked on the MEAN stack. It will be the next big thing, once they handle clustering and security in a hybrid cloud environment. It's come a long way. I've been building out Docker container and writing POT code to kick the tired. I love the new JavaScript 6 (ECMA 2015 / ES6) standard.
