Java and all its variants and environments,
I've been writing Java for almost 20 years and fully expect to be writing in it for another 10.
I won't speak for Jeff, but I think the point he was trying to make about Java was its massive moving target set of libraries. I've seen so many APIs come and go in the Java world that it's ridiculous. It's very important to separate the language from the libraries, but the Java world doesn't seem to do that. While the language has remained more or less static, and rather nice, the API world is nothing short of absurd in its level of indiscipline. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA
