Java is pro

I do not understand all the shit that java gets. According to my programming teacher, JAVA is a high tier language. Given my experience with the popular and well respected MMORPG World of Warcraft, I have come to understand that the term "high tier" refers to the cream of the crop. Why then, does JAVA take so many flames?

Not the same thing. "High-level programming language" has a set meaning, it isn't relative. And even if it were, Java wouldn't be
that high-level either. You'd best call it a "managed OO programming language" when you want to set it appart from the "low-level" programming languages. It's much clearer and more accurate.
