When I was younger C++ was commonly derided as the language that incompetent C programmers used. Then came Java. Not a big improvement.<br>
<br>
Srsly!?!? Java was not a big improvement over C++? First, I'm not sure that it was even supposed to improve C++ at all, but the introduction of a VM, a garbage collector, a full-blown object-oriented system (C++ allows it, but it's not the default, hence the "virtual" keyword), all packaged in a balanced way that's actually accepted by the industry?<br>

That's not saying the Go is not interesting. I assume it is. But it's not the only interesting thing around, and I don't trust this guy's judgment, or data.<br>

And re: the JVM Sith Lord, thats totally style-over-substance, which normally means there's no substance. I've learned that at a student exchange semester at UTME (that's University of Tatooine, Mos Eisley).<br>
