Java (what I used to think)

There are things I hate about Java. Most of the things I hate aren't really Java problems at all. They're C. Some of them are in Python too. The languages I'd used - Pascal, Modula-2, Jovial, Ada and Occam - predisposed me to hating the differences.

I'd periodically look at C and periodically walk away. C sucks. It sucks for two reasons. One is syntax that I dislike. The other is that it's way to easy to compile a piece of type-unsafe crap. All those security issues with buffer overflows are because of this sort of shit in C.

The thing that I hated about Java whenever I looked at it were the enumerated types: there weren't any.
