As one my teachers used to say: "It is better to use a bad language well than a good language badly" The blame is not so much the language but the programmers.

- BrandonM 19y agoThis is a great insight, one that I can unequivocally agree with, and it led me to an insight of my own. Modern-day teachers have the cause-and-effect backwards. Instead of focusing on improving the quality of the programmers, they are focusing on developing a language which is impossible to use incorrectly, no matter how bad that language is. Java can certainly be seen as a step in this direction.
