Sigh. Finished my absurdly absurd Java project for 60-212 – Introduction to OO Java. You can download a zipped tarball of the mess, if you want, though I promise it’s god-awful.
Things I have learned in this class: Java sucks hardcore. It is completely useless for any actual task, regardless of complexity. Exception error handling and automatic garbage collection are for wusses.

don’t make me have to hurt you ;)
Java is actually a remarkably awesome language, when it’s used for what it’s intended for. It sucks on the desktop, but really rocks on the server side. Witness the huge number of commercial Java application servers, banking systems etc.

Maybe you’re right. In this entire class no-one mentioned that everything we were doing showcased Java’s dark side.
I still think everything’s-an-object sucks though. I’d rather take direct memory access anyday.
I think this is where Legendary Master Gosling smacks with you a stick while shouting ‘mu’.
