I've seen Java described as made for companies to be able to rotate out mediocre programmers as efficiently as possible without letting them mess things up easily, and it makes a lot of sense from that perspective. Barebones semantics to the point of being Spartan (can't even define your own operator overloads), easy to take another class and copy it with small modifications but not mess it up for anyone else (inheritance)..

Then there's C# which most anyone who's enthusiastic about software dev will find far nicer to work with, but it's probably harder for bargain basement offshore sweatshops to bang their head against.
