Gah! no destructor gotta love that one if you are trying to write threaded
API's.

OK my proof goes like this.  Not all operating systems are the same, and you
can access things in the operating system using Java, breaking
encapsulation, and making that code non-independent.

Furthermore, Java has no concept of defines, that allow a programmer to
compile java for different platforms, so the very idea that one does not
have to think about the platform is preventing java programmers from
acutually making their programs portable to different platforms.

So if there was any language which allows a programmer to port their code to
be compileable and executable on a wide variety of systems it is C.

Use wine already :p

so far, so good, Java is THE OS abstraction layer.
We have to admit the Java people have done it well.
You can't get anything better in platform
independient. A lot of interpreted languages (Python,
Perl, etc.) don't have platform 100% independient
libraries... Some libraries works on Linux, others on
mac, others on windows... etc...

On java, libraries are similar wherever your program
is running... I'm not saying its perfect, I'm saying
is the best platform standarisation so far so good.

( I promise you I'm not a Java addict, actually I hate
a lot of things in Java )
