Java? ...why? Granted, I would perfer Java over PBASIC, but why not Lisp, SmallTalk, or C? Java was created to develop cross-platform applications with ease, and to introduce the concept of "applets," right? Why must Java be put to use in systems that do not benefit from this? Platform-Independance is hardly an issue with what we deal with. But, hmm... if it were, couldn't one create a VM for his or her language of choice? (Just (my '(Bit Bit)))
