I'm using Java for the first time because of Android. I had played with Java when it first came out but have stayed with C/C++/C# for almost everything.
I have to say that my Java experience isn't as unpleasant as I thought it would be. I always thought C# is what Java should have been but after learning a little idiomatic Java the reality is quite okay, really.
- nmjohn 13y agoThe way you phrased that sounds to me like you've been programming for a significant amount of time. If that is the case, the Java of today offers so much that a younger Java did not, and I suspect you would have had a more unpleasant with the java of 10 years ago.
- kasey_junk 13y agoIn a lot of ways C# is still a much superior language than Java, but the JVM (I'm thinking HotSpot) is tremendously better than the CLR.

- peterashford 13y agoAnyone looking at where "enterprise" Java went - the whole J2EE monstrosity - would have run screaming. But the basic language is actually quite good and has been for a long time.
