But some things just defy logic - I'm a Java hater, because
I don't believe that programming it is any easier than 
writing C/C++ code and I have to pay a huge performance and
memory footprint penalty.

But what worries me is the army of new developers coming out
of schools from their object oriented programming classes,
who just love Java.

The place where it has really succeeded is the server side
business logic aka application server market. No one writes
C/C++ code there. And there is a noticable move away from
CGI and perl in that market at the high end.
