Criticize Java.

Please, I'd like to hear what /prog/ thinks is silly about Java.

"Lame" is ablist language and I reserve the right to ignore any sentence that includes this word.
Back to feministing.com, please.

That would require operator overloading.
No, it would simply require treating String as a scalar. Which is reasonable, given that it's essentially a language primitive, and the JVM provides special support for it in various ways anyway (interning, for example).
