> If people hire you to "fix their Java app" and you then subsequently bury your head in the sand and insist that this cannot be fixed (or you will not fix it) To be honest, most of these cases have been what could be called bait and switch. I think it tells something about the language that they can't find employees if they are honest about using it. Other times it had been because recruiters just decided that I'm a Java person and can't work with other technologies. > It seems that you're trying to write Java as if it were C++. That will not work, so stop doing that. If you can read my thoughts, James Randi has million dollars for you. I have only contempt, and no you didn't get it right.
