But, for languages that are not enabled by default, no-one is directly affected except the people who might have caused the breakage, and the people who are working on the broken part of the compiler. In the case of java, there are not hundreds but only a handful of people working on it. > I don't like the idea of taking java out, but if we do I suggest we swap in > objc++.
