Java review

Good:

- 5 year olds should be able to learn how to make multithreaded applications
- Cross platform
- Great development tools (IDEs and such)
- You don't have to make/download amounts of libraries to develop great and helpful apps, the standard library is huge

Bad:

- Memory hog
- Java programmers: Herppppp Derpppp, internal char array?? nooo, its a string, what internal char array?? what is that
- No function pointers
- No operator overloading
- Everything is a reference, unless you implement Cloneable, sorry, i prefer "&"
- No #define

It must drive people in this thread insane, keeping them up at all hours of the night, that people still use Java or, worse, that people know what might be called "good" languages and yet still agree to program in Java.

But you don't need to and that's the point.  Don't do things you don't need to do.  That goes both ways: if the language is stupid about something, go around it and not against it.
