> purely cultural oh, I got one to admit he was "intimidated" by Java. Note: there is a subset of developers who have either hit one of Java/JVMs limitations, or, subscribe as a matter of professional judgement and taste to a school of programming (say FP) that is not a good fit to Java and JVM's orientation (classes, OOP). This subset is an informed subset and their feedback is reasonable and at times has helped Java/JVM move forward.
