619 is using Java this year. Many of the students are taking Java classes in high school, so it fits well. Also, it is so nice not to have to explain memory management to new programmers. C++ has far too many idiosyncrasies that just make new students go, "what the heck?!?" In my opinion, at least.

What I [i]don't]/i] like about Java is that we are limited to ME features. Java without generics has its own idiosyncrasies, too: ((Integer)vector.elementAt(1)).intValue() to extract an int from an array, for example.
