>>6568153....uhh. They are though. Have you never heard of a patent troll? Seriously, software patents are awful and widely hated in the industry at large. Maybe you have them confused with software LICENSES.
>>6568156Buddy, I'm gonna release a new diss track every fucking day from now on if you don't fuck right off.
>>6568146How about C, C++, Lua, Haskell, Scheme, Eiffel, or Pawn? Look, the problem with Java isn't that it's bad. It's that it's not good at anything. It's the lowest common denominator but shitty and slow and forcing its weird philosophy down your throat.
I don't mean to insult you or anything, so take this with a bit of humor.
>>6568166C is better than Java. It's WAY simpler, way easier to parse, its trivial to see what it compiles into, and its blazing fast. Sure, don't use it for fucking normal applications. But on embedded systems, drivers, OS work, or anything that needs to be fast, it's hard to beat.
