Java: slow, ugly and irrelevant

From Salon: “I hate Java. As a
programmer, I hate Java, the
language, for what it has done to
the field of programming. As a journalist, I hate the
relentless hyping of Java by its supporters, as well as their
unending excuses as to why Java has failed to deliver.
And as a technologist who has been involved with three
major projects that have used Java, I hate the
complications that Java has caused.”
