Java is the best language EVER

OF ALL TIME.

Prove to me, in a civil and politeyea right way why you disagree and maybe I'll learn something else.

Java was an attempt at making a better Sepples, and it succeeded, for the most part.

Java's only similarity to C++ is the syntax. Under the hood Java is a completely different animal, in fact its almost a polar opposite to C++. Java is a garbage collected VM language. If Java had dynamic typing and data types as objects, then it would be a scripting language like Python or Ruby. But it compromised in that area by using static typing and primitive data types to gain speed. So you end up with a language that only excels at large scale enterprise infrastructure due to its ability to handle large volumes of data with its typing correctness and uniform OO. It has completely kicked out C, C++ and VB's use in that area, and since business is one of the largest users of software, thats where all the "Java is an improvement over from C++" talk comes from
