I tell you, if the longest lasting super popularity of any programming language in the history of computing (with the possible exception of C) is what failure to get anything right looks like, I hope we keep getting things wrong just like that for decades to come.

But to those who ever wish to have another language that's as successful as Java, I would suggest studying what it is that Java values, which might explain why is it that almost twenty years after having died at the hands PHP, and some years later being finished off again for good measure by Ruby, and then had its coffin nailed shut by Node, Java is still more lively than its supposed heirs.
