Java and Java like (C# etc..) are (IMHO, please don't make it a flame war) not that good languages for basically because they try to become the "perfect programming language", but there is no perfect programming language, but both Sun and MS did market them as a life changer, and the name of the languages now come in abuse in every time there is a need to market a product. That is "Hey, we use Java for our server, and you know that Java cool because Sun told us that" So in the bottom line, I will quote Knoth (from my bad memory): "I have a perfect name for a programming language, now I'm looking for the perfect programming language to give it that name".
