I do agree that Java can be a good language sometimes but I consider Java as more of a web-based language and the internet was made for scripted interfaces. You can create nice, helpful interfaces using Flash with Perl for server-side scripting with a lot less trouble than Java. I'm not knocking Java but I would rather go with something else...

For client-side programs, I would rather use c++. I like the c++ interface a lot more...
