Java not that bad...

Java not that bad...

I rather like java -- I don't have to worry about peformance hits by
making things virtual for every method, I have packages, don't have header
files, explicit interfaces, garbage collection, a quite clear syntax and
so on. All nice to have. And native compilation and relatively easy
linking to existing C/C++ code.

On the other hand, I find I don't care all that much, in the end, whether
I do Qt programming in Java or in C++. The C++ annoyances are something to
shrug off and then continue coding. The Java advantages are not compelling
enough to start actually using it in real projects like Krita, even though
gcj, classpath and qtjava are just about mature enough for that.
