Poorly-written article. First of all, whenever you use "complete" in your headline you better make sure you deliver. On a topic such as comparing these two so very popular programming languages, such statement is overly ambitious and I personally read it with skepticism, hence (maybe) my criticism below. Moving on to the text. Focuses on syntax only which certainly isn't the complete picture. No examples provided, no references to support any of his statements. On top of it, some incorrect statements, too, as tgd pointed out. Definitely not "complete". And then there's the obvious fact it's subjectively written. The author tries hard to praise Java. Yes, some of this praise is reasonable (to me, at least) but without any examples and data, it just makes it a shallow argument and bets on the reader's personal experience. Other praise is just vague - how does eliminating pointers "makes Java programs more robust" ? I personally don't know so would have been great to learn this.
