I did misspeak a bit. You can override static methods in Java. My major
issue is that there is no getClass() within a static method, so when the
static method is being run in the context of the inheriting class it is
unaware of its own run context.
For example: I want the output to be Hi from

Of course this sort of nit-picking is absolutely not constructive. I'm

This ... saddens me.
We can have evermore threads which hit the daily post limit about the
community and how everyone feels. But a thread about programming language
strength/weakness has to be shut down.
I think it's time to change the name. I'm completely serious.

If this thread is just code nerdery: You can't override static methods in Java.
It looks like you can because there's a generous search for statically bound
names (if B extends A, and A defines static a(), B.a() works), but it's

messing with though . . . maybe . . .

Ian, I have to caution against taking the attitude we only code in what we
already know. Of course you are going to be able to hit the ground running
faster in what you are expert in. Putting on the blinders is a great way
choosing a language to develop in.
