| I suppose you would have to ask Crash[0].  But some people feel that Sun
| tried to make a safer language, but the things they had to put in there
| so programmers could get their work done make it more complicated.
|
| On top of that, some feel the whole "java certification" program became
| more politics than technical merit.
|
| On top of that, the fact that Sun runs around talking about Java is open
| and .NET is closed, but actually keep the java spec closed, bothers some.

I also find that annoying.  Wish Java were "free"...

|
| On top of that, Crash likes saying shocking, controverical things that
| piss people off.

| [0] Crash is a friend of mine.  He's appeared several times on Junkyard
| Wars, and is an evil scientist, who himself should be kept in the kinky
| toy box.

Junkyard wars, cool!  A buddy of mine did robot wars once.  Personally
I'm holding out for beer wars ;)  -Eric
