> Many great programmers hold the opinion that Java is horrible. Could you name a few?

  Linus, Dijkstra, Stroustrup, to name a few. Time has shown OOP is not good.

    Then it’s great that Java is a general purpose programming language with plenty of ways to do FP as well. Also, being good at some subset of CS doesn’t mean they are good at language design.

    > Linus, Dijkstra I wouldn't take Linus' hyperbole at face value, given that he is a guy who has consistently refused to use anything but C or assembly. Dijkstra, on the other hand, argued that Haskell should be taught in college instead of Java. Yeah, let's go with that. > Stroustrup > Time has shown OOP is not good. So, the creator of C++ argues that OOP is "not good"? OOP is ubiquitous, and a fine tool. Plainly saying that it is "not good" is like saying nothing.
