Why is Java so popular

The introductory programming course at uni teaches Java, but you don't have to take it if you know a programming language. Should I teach myself python over the summer (I already know the basics) and avoid having to learn Java? Or are the haters just people who are scared of object orientation.

I am a programmer. There is an entire team of literature failures to proof read shit. They know shit about boolean algebra and I could give a shit about the "tone" of my communications.

I was at some faggy presentation where an MS fag made an entire MVC website in nothing but Python and notepad. Since MS employees can do this, you fail.

Some of you fags need to realize that programming like it is 1977 is not only stupid, it is fucking sad. CS and CSE have advanced since then, and to not use the tools at your disposal is to be a complete failure as a programmer.
