The coin has two sides. While corporations push (perhaps ignorantly) for Java, I've always been very resistant to Java. Probably ignorantly, due to elitist cultures like HN where anything mainstream is frowned upon. One could say that in the bookshops I visit, the "cover of Java" has been torn up and defaced before even being put on display. I'm ok with that though. I'm as elitist as the next guy.
