That's not the virtues of Java the language. That's the virtues of Java the backward-compatible platform. That is, you didn't say anything about the language (syntax and semantics), you only talked about backward compatibility.
(It's still a valid point. It's just not the point you labeled it as.)
- cogman10 1y agoThe language also follows the backwards compatibility principles. Java hasn't, for example, added new keywords in a backwards incompatible way. You can, for example, have something like int record = 1; double var = 2; even though `var` and `record` are now used to create and define things.
