Ian, I have to caution against taking the attitude "we only code in what we

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.

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
