However, when Java is promoted as the sole programming language, its flaws and limitations become serious. -- Bjarne Stroustrup
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
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
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
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
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
If I were to pick a language to use today other than Java, it would be Scala -- James Gosling
I think it would be a tragic statement of the universe if Java was the last language that swept through. -- James Gosling
