- After having played a little bit with Java, I must admit that it's by
- far closer to Modula-3 than to C++, and it does only inherit its syntax
- from the latter, common features with Modula-3 include:
- - programmation by modules (though they are still called classes they
- look more like Modula modules, right ?)
- - strong typing
- - garbage collection
-
- any opinions on this ?
- I wish it could widen then use of Modula-3 (I still can't understand
- where C++ gets its success from...).
