I am sitting in a Data Structures class right now and it seems like every day the professor manages to bring up some new miracle feature that is new in version 5 or 6 and how its so new and gonna save the day blah blah blah. I'm sitting here wanting to scream out that all of these features existed in the first version of .NET. [Update]We are talking about ackerman's function again... nothing to do with data structures...:sigh: [/Update]

The language is OK, it is the freaking nightmare that is J2EE, servlet containers, JSP and all that rubbish that gets on my tits. I've never seen so much prep. just to run 1 line of code before.

and what exactly are these features?
Reflection, Auto-boxing, generics (though that is technically 2.0, still beats java out of the gate), can't think of the rest off the top of my head... I'll have to get back to you.

I'm not arguing that, i'm just pointing out that my professor is ignoring the fact that many of these "new" features already existed.. and in some cases are implimented better in .NET

:wtf: MS is way too comitted to back compat, IMO. They're introducing a better DateTime in .NET 3.5, but instead of deprecating the existing one or replacing the existing one, they're gonna have DateTime2 for back compat reasons. :doh: Same goes for the ReaderWriterLock -- there will be a new ReaderWriterLockSlim in .NET 3.5, keeping the old version around without deprecating it. :doh: IMO, that's too much focus on back compat; cleanliness of the framework is being put on the back burner in favor of back compat. That's wrong, IMO.

Would you dare telling it to any VB6 programmer?

Strange. MS has dropped many technologies in the past, making tons of working code obsolete. Remember ActiveX Documents, VB3, VB6, Managed extensions for C++? On the other hand, you can recompile Java 1.0 code with Java 5.0 JDK without problems AFAIK. Sure, you'll get many "deprecated" warnings, but that's about it.

Never used it, but from what I see of it... I ended up with 4 separate versions of it on my system (1.4.2, 1.4.5, 1.5.0a, 1.5.0c or something) It was the slowest thing I've ever seen (running Limewire - how can it take so long to simply initalise a dialog box! And the window painting was intolerable). The files are all over the place, it has no content management (going back to the 4 versions of it) which reminds me of Python - each program that runs it has its own DLL for it - why not have a global one? :sigh: The long roundabout way you have to go to download the runtimes (website, through about 20 pages then downloading it for six hours). I could probably come up with more if I used it, but I doubt I will.

It is my current nightmare. Using it alongside a Rails app and JSP completely and utterly sucks.

Java (the language) is a joke. However, the framework is pretty big and rich, and when used from a good language like Scala[^], it surely looks like good platform for some applications. Also, I like the fact that Sun stubornly sticks to backward compatibility with new versions of Java. MS is way too much relaxed in this matter, IMHO.

it's amazing how many guys spit on java while loving .NET. that's paradoxal nonsense

How can you say the java 'language' pretty much sucks? Java is almost identical to c#. I've been using java for over 6 months now (for web apps). I still do windows apps in c#, however I have found it is a very easy and smooth transition to work between java and c#.

Java and C# are both toy languages that are some software marketing exec's wet dream. We'd be way ahead if they'd just put some effort into giving us decent C++ libraries.
The evolution of the human genome is too important to be left to chance idiots like CSS.
