Why madness? It has a clear, logical, consistent and easy to understand syntax.

  Really? Easier than C syntax, which is a more appropriate in this context, and on which Java's syntax is based upon?

    Way easier than C syntax. Even though I have long mastered various assembly languages and higher level languages, C pointers and their arithmetic still confuses me. There's nothing worse than something like bar = *[&foo + 88] or whatever it is.
