Hi,
Programming is only about 10% coding. Focusing on a language is pretty foolish, that is a small piece of the whole. Java is not bad for an *interpreted* language. Real programmers learn a new language pretty much "at the drop of a hat". Once you understand the principles, the rest is just syntax. I can't remember who said it, but "somewhere in C++ is a good programming language screaming to get out." Some people think that Java could have been that language.
