My only comment was that you have yet to write enough real Java code to have
formed a reasoned opinion.  If it hurts your feelings, I'm sorry that your
feelings were hurt, but my comment stands.  Write a few thousand lines of
code and then tell us what specifically you don't like about the language,
and then we can discuss the issues.

I'm policing the list, Brad.  That's my job.

Expressed civilly, your opinion is valued.  Expressed uncivilly or in a
derogatory manner, it is not acceptable.  Uncivil behavior is not allowed
here, and you're not the first person I've pointed that out to.  You're just
the first to complain.


> It's a langauge that I may trash talk, not your family member.

Neither is appropriate here, neither is allowed.
