If java is really so bad, then why is one of the first things colleges and employers ask here in silicon valley whether or not you know java?
And if java is so bad, then is minecraft bad? Even with it's 2,637,857 PAYING customers?
i don't play minecraft, so i don't know.
the reason why java has spread is because of Sun's marketing campaigns. and true its a widely used language but that does not make it good. the reason for people to ask if you know java, is because all their applications are already written in java, so they need people who can code the shit.
McD does earn a shitload of money, but that does not make their burgers good.
