TechRepublic recently published an article about languages that developers love and those that they hate. This produced an interesting set of results since Java was the third most loved language as well as the second most hated. Clearly, Java, as a language, polarizes opinion. When I tweeted about this, I got one reply from Bjarne Stroustrup, the creator of C++:
“There are only two kinds of languages: the ones people complain about and the ones nobody uses.”
I think he has a point.
