I saw some idiot's post the other day complaining about how long it takes Sun to release major versions of Java. Are you kidding me??? Ruby is only up to 1.9 - at it was first released in 1995, the same year as Java. Java is up to version 6, about to enter version 7. Even Python, which was first released in 1991, is only at version 3.1.
How the blue blazes can anyone justify this statement? Comparitively speaking, Java is moving at a blistering pace compared to all the other dinkie languages.
Seriously - if you're going to complain about something another language, make sure your preferred one doesn't suffer from it, too.
