Thank you for that. That was a good little read. While many of the Bell Labs guys didn't much like Pascal, Turbo Pascal managed to address almost all of the complaints I've ever seen, while preserving the good parts of Pascal (or Modula???). Java must look irredeemable to the Bell Labs folks, though. Perhaps it is: UglyNames; limited structured constant literals; still too clunky lambdas for callbacks.
