I agree. java is a great language. The biggest problem with java?
Lack of portability! Yes, that's right, it's not portable! If you
are using Linux or a commercial OS of some kind, you have great java
support, but under FreeBSD or OpenBSD? Good luck getting Java 2 to
work!
But it's still a great language and I'm moving all my stuff from PHP
to Java.
