Nobody should call themselves a professional if they only knew one language.

A program that has not been tested does not work.

However, when Java is promoted as the sole programming language, its flaws and limitations become serious.

Anybody who comes to you and says he has a perfect language is either naive or a salesman.

There is no one "root of all evil" in software development. Design is hard in many ways. People tend to underestimate the intellectual and practical difficulties involved in building a significant system involving software. It is not and will not be reduced to a simple mechanical "assembly line" process. Creativity, engineering principles, and evolutionary change are needed to create a satisfactory large system.

Personally, I look forward to better tools for analyzing C++ source code.

I would encourage nonproprietary standards for tools and libraries.
