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.

Are you some first year CS failure. You didn't even understand what "first class" meant in that context.

Every fucking word of what I said it 100% true. If you faggots knew anything, you would understand the huge flaws in Java at the lowest levels of its shit. Your inability to understand does not make what I said any less correct.

But thing like dynamics dispatch, non-language specific OO principals an apparently basic computer software engineering principals.

Java is just fine and dandy, the best shit ever, and the reason is your own ignorance? Fucking kids these days.

Also, maybe the shit head how cobbled together this shitty site in PHP should implement a consistent quoting system throughout all the fucking boards. I don't bow to his stupidity, or yours.
