I can't figure out why your comment was rated down; it is not inflammatory and it expresses well formed, easily defensible opinions about current coding practiced.

"Java's for people afraid of hardware."

Totally, but it's a good thing to be afraid of hardware. The Application Programmer should not have to think about hardware; that's what abstraction is.

I'm not saying Java is the greatest language (it's not, it's a training-wheels language), I'm just saying it's GOOD for languages to be moving away from hardware.

e.g: The majority of security flaws we see on the internet are due to the antiquated but still dominant practice of manual memory management.

Almost a decade? Lisp is older than your dad. Every dynamically typed, garbage collected, object oriented language that supports higher order functions is arguably "based on" Lisp. That doesn't imply that we should never produce new languages with those features. It's all about the syntax.

Actually, no. Ruby has been around for 10 years now. While clearly Ruby has lifted many idioms from Perl directly, but OO, it is more than based on Smalltalk.

As far as Ola Bini, I think you think mistake modesty for lack of experience. Ola is making a presentation since he wrote a book on JRuby. You haven't.
