Why is Java so popular

Name: If everybody hates Java 2009-03-02 12:02

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.

there are actually two open source .NET implementations, mono and that gnu one which might be stable enough to be usable a few years after they finish rewriting the hurd.

99% of my c code runs on more architectures than java does. and the parts that don't can't be done inside the JVM anyway.
