I myself, am starting to learn Java(sorry!) After some experimenting with Java, I decided it was just too slow for my projects. I write programs for people who are trying to get 8 hours of work done in approximately 8 hours, not 14 :) Also, from a programmer's standpoint, it's a little annoying to have to declare an object and methods for _everything_ no matter how trivial.
