Gee, before I read his response to you I was going to say something along the same lines. I've been developing applications for the last 20+ years and have seen a lot of different languages and environments from FORTRAN to lisp & smalltalk, and java is by far the best one I've seen yet. I've seen SEVERAL applications that have been re-written in Java and the number of lines of code has been reduced to 25% of the original. I've seen apps written that normaly would have taken 6-10 months done in 2-3. I've seen more "next-generation" concepts that sound doable than any other system. Not only is Java going to be good, it WILL revolutionize the whole software industry (it already has in just the thinking of most developers, at least those who can think out of the box). It is obvious to me that you have spent < 1% of any normal effort to understand Java and therefor I think Rod's comments to you are right on the money.
