Seriously though, you gotta be into S&M if you decide to develop something in Java yourself and you'll be doing part of the job.

It's not the speed (this isn't the 1.0/1.1 era anymore). It's not the memory consumption (it's poor, but life goes on). It's not the startup time (you don't use java for clients anyway). It's not the syntax (damn similar to C anyway). It's not the language model (for industrial computing it ain't half bad). No, sir, it's the java libraries I can't stand.
Damn, they're ugly. They even make C's crap libs look divine.
