> The biggest problem with Java is... the walled garden, the snob society, the elitist, exclusive culture. No idea how you have managed to come to such a conclusion, or what kind of experienced you might have had. I have been part of some of the core JSR/groups, as rather independent/unaffiliated (not oracle/google/hp/ibm/twitter) - there was no gate keeping, elitism or anything alike. I'd consider mailing lists extremely professional, respectful, even nice.

Agreed, I have never seen a pattern of elitist behavior unique to the Java ecosystem. There are always people like that when groups get big enough. The thing I love about the JVM ecosystem is the engineering culture. The quality of the platform and most libraries is very high, and well designed. I don't love the Java language, but it can get the job done.
