Clearly, I reject the view that there is one way that is right for everyone and for every problem.

There's an old story about the person who wished his computer were as easy to use as his telephone. That wish has come true, since I no longer know how to use my telephone.

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

I like doing research that has an impact. If I went to a company to make what they call 'real money,' I'd be just trying to make a system work as fast as possible to meet the product and serice deadlines.

When done well, software is invisible.

Java isn't platform independent; it is a platform

Certainly not every good program is object-oriented, and not every object-oriented program is good.
