Bleep off, java is still the best
yeah
i'll proove it anywhere

@neutrall

Your mates few years ago were saying the same about Novell Network, now Novell Network has been consigned to history as it could not face the might of Windows Networking, same thing is happening to Java, I know some smart Java programmers that have moved over to C# and .net, those Java programmers still hanging on to Java are hanging on to a sinking ship.

House pls stop confusing JAVA with JavaScript cause they are completely different things:

Java is a programming language originally developed by James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which is now a subsidiary of Oracle Corporation) .

While JavaScript can be said to be a prototype-based object-oriented scripting language. JavaScript is implementation of the ECMAScript language standard and is primarily used in the form of client-side JavaScript.

They are both different packages from different developers!

Greetings all

I just joined this forum

@sbucareer , you may feel you are just defending Java, but actually you ended up enlightening us all! I came across Java some 4 years ago only because i did not want to take the .Net path everyone in my class were going simply because they heard Java was " Difficult ", I have never had a single regret ever since. Thank you so much!

Java has failed on the PC desktop and internet. PC desktop dev is done in .NET or Qt, while internet pages are predominantly .NET or PHP.

For those claiming that Android is Java, I wonder what they think about Oracle's patent suit against Google's Android platform and Googles own arguments that Android is not Java? Or Microsoft collecting patent fees from 55% of Android licensee's, the likes of Samsung and HTC?

For those of us that witnessed the birth C# and their scary Java clone, Visual J#; we only see a familiar trajectory. Google, like Microsoft did earlier, is simply hitching a ride on the Java train until they can come up with their own language, except Google is much more involved in a do or die battle than Microsoft ever was.
C# is thousands of times better than Java will ever be and we can expect that when Google comes out with its own language (if it doesn't adopt C#), it will also be miles better than Java.

If what runs on phones is Android and not Java, then Java is well and truly dead and only putting up a pretend existence.

@Africanboy, Some are complaining about classes while others are ranting about the different versions JAVA has. I'll ask just one question here: "Why Did Oracle (Owned by Larry Ellison) By JAVA (Ownwd by Sun Microsystems)?

At today's time it is difficult to find a writer like you, you're such a marvellous person. Your articles touch the heart and are much better and we think we're also capable of doing it that's why we've tried something good on our website. It would be a great pleasure if you guys visit our website named "Software Reviews".

africanboy:
I read a comment in a post about Java. I didn't read it completely because I am STRONGLY anti-Java.

As far as I am concerned, JAVA has failed. It started with a hype - Write Once, Run Anywhere. Has anyone done that? I don't think so. One good thing, JAVa opened our eyes to a concept which was right under our noses: use a platform specific engine while the high level language can be written in well - high level. The code is translated to a intermediate form which is run.

.NET from Microsoft uses the same principle, so is RunRev (from http://runrev.com).

A friend of mine wanted to convert me to Java, giving me theory, history and other .... I stopped withone simple question "Which JAVA program have you written that runs on Windows (all variants), Linux, Unix, Mac, Solaris, OS2, Symbian, Palm"

Java programmers in the house, eat my head off.

Look at this baba, chia since 2006 agba man, then i have never even seen a computer before

I am personally using the Visual C++ Redistributable Package. This is a nice tool to develop Java apps. At first, I have downloaded this tool from here and install it on my computer. Now I am surprised by their own interface.
