Too true, Java has its place but it is not easy to learn, Using Forte
or some other Visual development tool certainly eases the burden, but
you then need another non-amiga(probably non 86k) machine to use them.
On the Amiga at the moment (and for the future) the only really
useful development language is C++. Not C (the object oriented stuff
is very important if you want to move to java later).

I agree with that, what use is a computer if you can't program the
bloody thing.
