Not to fan the fires too much, but it's too bad people are touting Java as "Object Oriented", when in fact it's only a hybrid-OO language like Perl or C++. Most people will never see the elegance of pure objects in Smalltalk, Self, or Eiffel (or Ruby perhaps), and may never quite get what OO is really all about.
In any event, I hope Java replaces C++ entirely. We've had that abomination for far too long. But Java won't replace Perl, any more than Perl replaces C++.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
