The Reason For Java's Staying Power: It's Easy To Read
jfruh writes: Java made its public debut twenty years ago today, and despite a sometimes bumpy history that features its parent company being absorbed by Oracle, it's still widely used. Mark Reinhold, chief architect for the Oracle's Java platform group, offers one explanation for its continuing popularity: it's easy for humans to understand it at a glance. "It is pretty easy to read Java code and figure out what it means. There aren't a lot of obscure gotchas in the language ... Most of the cost of maintaining any body of code over time is in maintenance, not in initial creation."

you know what I mean.
You can try. But we are growing in number every day while you Christians are decreasing in numbers and growing softer and softer in your decadent lifestyle. In two or three generations we will control Europe and in another generation we will control the United States. Then we will have true submission of the world as the Prophet Muhammad spoke of over 1,000 years ago. The funny part is we can speak of our plans boldly, but Allah has our future in his hands and you cannot do anything about it.
