- How about the fact that Java kinda uses the C Syntax, a big mistake IMHO,
- or the fact that user types are second class citizens, one of C++'s
- greatest strengths is how it handles your defined types. Or the fact there
- is no system wide way to copy objects. No multiple inheritence, their
- interface idea suck's big time. Or the fact that I have yet to run into a
- VM that can run it for any amount of time without crashing. And of course
- security is pretty lax too.

- Java is not a serious work language yet, and it won't be for at least
- another 7 or 8 years. Sun has managed to pull the wool over your eyes
