Not to rant, but I don't understand why every mention of a Java project on here gets some kind of snarky response about Java. If you don't like Java, then don't read the article, and don't spam the comment section with "why would anyone want to use Java?"
Obviously if someone is clicking this link, it's because, for whatever personal or work reasons, would like to see a Java implementation of the algorithms, and if they want a discussion of them, would click the comment section. They are not clicking the comment section, however, to hear about how you don't like the language.

- Scramblejams 16y agoSorry, but this is such an oft-applied aphorism that I feel it needs a corollary: A good craftsman has the wisdom to select the right tool for the job.
- Sindisil 16y agoOf course, the "right" tool for a job might, and often does, vary from craftsman to craftsman. It probably wouldn't be "craft" were that not the case.
- lwat 16y agoAs long as it's not Java, right? :P
- Scramblejams 16y agoHey, you're talking to somebody who's doing almost all of his programming these days in j2me! Sometimes the customer restricts the craftsman's selection of tools... :-)
