The OP did not use any such language ("crappier"). As noted, Oracle uses the term "enterprise", which I take to imply a corporate approach to language implementation the coincides with service/support agreements and other business models. For what it is worth, the JVM is second to none for interpreted languages in my book. At the same time, I don't use it and if I ever find myself going back, it will be for Scala. I don't much care for Oracle's brand of innovation (I don't think it is sustainable). Tell me something, from your perspective: Why should an aspiring technologist learn Java over Python?
