#43No one loves it. C, Perl, Python, Smalltalk, and Lisp programmers love their languages. I've never heard anyone say that they loved Java. - You must be kidding me, ever been to any JUG meeting or JavaOne conference? There are millions of hardcore Java lovers at those places. Java has one of the the biggest developer community world wide. I love Java - it's one of the best programming language till date.
Hear, Hear! A Java fan here.
me too: I love Java.

#44"Historically, languages designed for other people to use have been bad: Cobol, PL/I, Pascal, Ada, C++." In what sense was C++ designed for other people? IIRC Stroustrup came up with it to use on his own research projects.
C++ is the classic design-by-committee language. However it started it, it's far from one person's design now and hasn't been for decades.
