Not saying this is the case but to me Java looks like the choice of someone who's fresh out of school. Nobody would start a new project in Java if he had the choice.
I feel the same about some other things. For me for example abortion is murder and completely unacceptable. But I don't insult abortionists, I try to understand why they think like that.
That said I'm out of this thread because nothing good could ever come of it. :)
