With regards to JWZ article. It is interesting how perspectives are changing in time. JWZ wrote: " - Java-the-language is, overall, a very good thing, and works well. - Java-the-class-library is mostly passable. - Java-the-virtual-machine is an interesting research project, a nice proof of concept, and is basically usable for a certain class of problems (those problems where speed isn't all that important: basically, those tasks where you could get away with using Perl instead of C.) - Java-the-security-model is another interesting research project, but it only barely works right now. In a few years, maybe they'll have it figured out or replaced." Years later it seems that both Java security model and JVM were actually good ideas, while the language itself is considered as too rigid and too verbose.
