However, when Java is promoted as the sole programming language, its flaws and limitations become serious. -- Bjarne Stroustrup
I'm just an observer of Java, and where Microsoft wants to go with C# is too early to tell. -- Dennis Ritchie
C++ and Java, say, are presumably growing faster than plain C, but I bet C will still be around. -- Dennis Ritchie
I was interested in Java the beginning, but the problem with Java is you do have to switch your platform. -- Miguel de Icaza
Mark Hammond is working in this area, with Windows Scripting Host. It is definitely an area where Python fits almost perfectly. That's quite independent from Java, actually. -- Guido van Rossum
This evolution may compromise Java's claim of being simpler than C++, but my guess is that the effort will make Java a better language than it is today. -- Bjarne Stroustrup
In my daily work, I work on very large, complex, distributed systems built out of many Python modules and packages. The focus is very similar to what you find, for example, in Java and, in general, in systems programming languages. -- Guido van Rossum
If you're talking about Java in particular, Python is about the best fit you can get amongst all the other languages. Yet the funny thing is, from a language point of view, JavaScript has a lot in common with Python, but it is sort of a restricted subset. -- Guido van Rossum
Now, it's my belief that Python is a lot easier than to teach to students programming and teach them C or C++ or Java at the same time because all the details of the languages are so much harder. Other scripting languages really don't work very well there either. -- Guido van Rossum
I've never worked with the Java community. -- Miguel de Icaza
Java is C++ without the guns, knives, and clubs -- James Gosling
After all, C++ isn't a perfect match for Java's design aims either. -- Bjarne Stroustrup
After all, C++ isn't a perfect match for Java's design aims either -- Bjarne Stroustrup
If Java had true garbage collection, most programs would delete themselves upon execution. -- Robert Sewell
If I were to pick a language to use today other than Java, it would be Scala -- James Gosling
Sitting in my favorite coffeehouse with a new notebook and a hot cup of java is my idea of Heaven. -- Libba Bray
If Sun were to hand the management of Java over to a committee of monkeys, would it be more successful? -- Eric Sink
I fear - as far as I can tell - that most undergraduate degrees in computer science these days are basically Java vocational training. -- Alan Kay
What's kept Java from being used as widely as possible is there hasn't been an Open Source implementation of it that's gotten really widespread use. -- Brian Behlendorf
Web servers are written in C, and if they're not, they're written in Java or C++, which are C derivatives, or Python or Ruby, which are implemented in C. -- Rob Pike
It is said in Java that the tiger's hearing is so acute that hunters must keep their nose hairs cut lest the tiger hear the breath whistle through their nostrils. -- Peter Matthiessen
When you write a program for Android, you use the Oracle Java tools for everything, and at the very end, you push a button and say, 'Convert this to Android format.' -- Larry Ellison
If the pros at Sun had had a chance to fix Java, the world would be a much more pleasant place. This is not secret knowledge. It's just secret to this pop culture. -- Alan Kay
Sun Microsystems had the right people to make Java into a first-class language, and I believe it was the Sun marketing people who rushed the thing out before it should have gotten out. -- Alan Kay
Java is like a variant of the game of Tetris in which none of the pieces can fill gaps created by the other pieces, so all you can do is pile them up endlessly. -- Steve Yegge
We think we're going to be especially strong in platform where we have our two platform brands: our database brand is the Oracle Database 12c, and our programming language brand is this thing called Java. -- Larry Ellison
I think Unix is a great system -- especially for running data centers -- because it is very mature, very reliable, very scalable. But when I want to go out and populate small devices, I think Java. -- Bill Joy
Specifically, my favorite tool in Java is hot code swapping in debug mode, meaning I can edit the code while the game is running and immediately see the results in the running game. This is super great for rapid tweaking. -- Markus Persson
No one wants one language. There are applications when it's appropriate to write something in C rather than in Java. If you want to write something where performance is much more important than extensibility, then you might want to choose C rather than Java. -- Brian Behlendorf
I fear -as far as I can tell- that most undergraduate degrees in computer science these days are basically Java vocational training. I've heard complaints from even mighty Stanford University with its illustrious faculty that basically the undergraduate computer science program is little more than Java certification. -- Alan Kay
In the Java Sea in Indonesia, I have seen fishers going out in the morning, six of them going out and coming back with five pounds of fish. That is the end point, a pound of fish per person per day to sell for rice. That's where fisheries go if you let it happen. That's where it stabilizes. These people cannot feed their families. -- Daniel Pauly
Java isn't platform independent; it is a platform -- Bjarne Stroustrup
A class, in Java, is where we teach objects how to behave. -- Richard E. Pattis
Coffee comes in five descending stages: Coffee, Java, Jamoke, Joe, and Carbon Remover. -- Robert A. Heinlein
I did write some code in Java once, but that was the island in Indonesia. -- Richard Stallman
Java development without a little heresy would be a dull place, and a dangerous one. -- Bruce Tate
I think it would be a tragic statement of the universe if Java was the last language that swept through. -- James Gosling
While Microsoft does not share all of Oracle's ambitions for Java, we agree that it is a very valuable tool for software developers. -- Bill Gates
Java and C++ make you think that the new ideas are like the old ones. Java is the most distressing thing to hit computing since MS-DOS. -- Alan Kay
Travelers describe a tree in the island of Java whose pestiferous exhalations blight every tiny blade of grass within the compass of its shade. So it is with despotism. -- Giovanni Ruffini
C is declining somewhat in usage compared to C++, and maybe Java, but perhaps even more compared to higher-level scripting languages. It's still fairly strong for the basic system-type things. -- Dennis Ritchie
When you write a program for Android, you use the Oracle Java tools for everything, and at the very end, you push a button and say, Convert this to Android format. -- Larry Ellison
I love coffee, I love tea, I love the Java Jive, and it loves me. Coffee and tea and the Java and me, A cup, a cup, a cup, a cup, a cup. -- Ben Oakland
(In response to Java) Anybody who thinks a little 9,000-line program that's distributed free and can be cloned by anyone is going to affect anything we do at Microsoft has his head screwed on wrong. -- Bill Gates
In fact, in the history of a lot of cultures there is a theater. For example, there are the theaters in Java, [Indonesia] and of that area where they use puppets and they have backgrounds and shadows. -- Michelle Stuart
The most spectacular UFO incident in Indonesia occurred when during the height of President Sukarno's confrontation against Malaysia, UFOs penetrated a well-defended area in Java for two weeks at a stretch, and each time were welcomed with perhaps the heaviest anti-aircraft barrage in history. -- Cael Sanderson
The savage, rocky shores of Christmas Island, 200 miles south of Java, in the Indian Ocean. It's November, the moon is in its third quarter, and the sun is just setting. In a few hours from now, on this very shore, a thousand million lives will be launched. -- David Attenborough
The book the Ziff folks sent me as an example of their art was 'Late Night VRML 2.0 with Java,' 700 pages + CD-ROM, published February 1997. I was personally acquainted with more movie stars than people who might conceivably have wanted to buy this book or any book like it. -- Philip Greenspun
All of us who attended the meeting - including Microsoft - unanimously agreed that unilaterally extending the Java programming language would hurt compatibility among Java tools and programs, would injure other tools vendors and would damage customers' ability to run a Java-based software product on whatever platform they wished. -- James Gosling
If I had intended for 'Minecraft' to end up on consoles, I wouldn't have developed the game in Java. The decision to port the game to consoles came from a combination of player requests, a desire to play around with the brand on different platforms, and some interesting business deals. -- Markus Persson
after an epic search, I finally found something neither green nor fuzzy. It was a hot sausage link. I named it Peter, mostly because it seemed like the right thing to do. As soon as my java was piping hot I popped him into the microwave. hopefully the radioactive environment would sterilize Peter. No need to have little Peters running around, wreaking havoc. -- Darynda Jones
I believe strongly that a group's potential is eventually limited by the strength of its leadership. I'm an outsider, but it still looks to me like the leadership in the Java w orld is Fouled Up Beyond ALL Recognition. Java ISVs don't know whether to listen to Mom or Dad. Everybody knows IBM should just buy Sun and clean up the mess. When are they going to do it? -- Eric Sink
I need some Starbucks. What about you? (Cassandra) Always game for java. Give me ground-up beans or give me death. (Katra) -- Sherrilyn Kenyon
