You need to get out some more kid, seriously. When you're out of mom's basement, walk around the corner, get a job, and you'll witness first-hand, java's remarkable penetration. Obviously, this doesn't speak for the language's effectiveness.


Disregarding the borderline ad hominem attack here, I'd suggest you misunderstood my post. I actually mention that Java has huge penetration--I just don't think associating a company with a $17B market cap to a programming language (which I contend is a bit boring at this point) is all that cool.


Passe is a poor choice of word, especially with java's sustainable growth. The brand has excellent marketability, it's wise to leverage it.


"sustainable growth"... that means 'not too rapid', right?
