Anyway, just tell the OP that he's right, C++ is wonderful and Java is crap, and all those thousands more Java jobs out there can go to those of us impurists. C++ invented everything and Java is a poor stepchild, and if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery then Java just gave C++ the finger. He's right, we're wrong - he need learn nothing new and we praise him with angels' song and rose petals. C++ rules, Java drools! Can we stop talking about C++ now? You know it only makes us poor stepchildren embarrassed and to feel clumsy, contemplating how much worse our language of choice is than the One True Way, so stop rubbing our noses in it, please. Let's just talk about Java as Java so we may be shielded from the blinding light of knowledge of our insignificance compared to those of the C++ world. Leave us benighted souls to our dark Java Hades and burn us not with the C++ Sun! Again, C++ rules, Java drools! Done. QED. You win.
