- I think, that people are too excited by Java (which is an interesting,
- though an oversold language even if free).
- Most people, who are saying that Java is going to replace C++ are
- either interested in, what they say, financially or they simply don't
- want to admit that they failed to master such a powerfull tool as C++
- certainly is.
- Now they are in process to fail to master Smalltalk, when they'll fail
- to master Java, they will shout that Jave will be replaced by new
- language called IceCream**.
