I have long wondered where is this open-source anti-Java sentiment
coming from (not necessarily meaning your personal opinions, but overall
Linux-users seem quite hostile to Java). I understand that the pain of
getting Java to work on Linux is usually very real, but shouldn't this
make us anti-Sun instead? It's not the language's fault that the licence
sucks.
Java seems to be a common first language taught in schools and such, it
was for me, and personally I like it a lot. Learning C has on the
contrary been an uphill battle for me.

Well, let's just say I don't seem to be good at taking suggestions ;)
