Oh yes, that one. I had five and they were excelent.

That's said by the poor man's Java no-numerical-tower BigDecimal.

Java is unusable for absolutely anything also. The standard class library was rewritten
several times already
!
And that's a nice example how Java goy works, you do bottom-up ``abstract generic enterprise factory'' in advance, but when actual shit comes to your todo list you'll need to rewrite everything again because the shit can't into MVC/cache/concurrency and Java ``most straightforward object/generics system'' can't into aspects/contracts/mixins. That's why JCP is full of
new features(!) and half
import java.*; is deprecated or unadvised.
The only thing that supports Java nowadays is the \Large community and number of libraries, IDEs, books, et cetera,
but at the cost of using a overly verbose language with barely the basic features found on competitor's environments and a quite bloated, unreliable, glued quickfix project of a VM.
That said, I don't hate Java, it's simpler to teach than C++ anyway, so you can get lots of cheap Java developers nowadays. So we love it! =3
Also, if you aren't going to make large/complex programs, why would you spend time to learn anything but the basics, ne?
