It comes from Java programmer, so be warned. (I don't know how much it applies to C# as well, as I am not very familiar with it. To be honest I don't feel that I'm know C++ well enough neither, but who does?) My problem with C++ is that it's syntax is too complex, so it's impossible to write decent auto-complete feature. (I'm not impressed with the Intellisense in VS C++; or the one CodeBlocks). Also, that causes error messages to be less helpful, and I guess many incompatibility between different compilers is caused by this fact.
Also, the way it includes headers can be confusing at times, as putting classes in modules works different than putting functions in there. Also the fact, that it matters which direction declaration come feels archaic as well. (I don't feel it was justified to do things this way in the eighties. However I wasn't there writing compilers back then.)
Of course, the garbage collection of Java makes it unsuited for real-time applications. (And the fact, that "finalize" methods are often not called at all.) And I'm not very happy, that JNI has such a big overhead, but I think Java got a lot of things right with it's simplicity. Also, although agile people like to bash Java, I don't see that it were unsuited to that methodology, as the corporate culture isn't there in the language per se.

I wonder whether it would be possible to write a lower level Java, or standardise calling conventions for CPU acrhitectures yet to be created, without moving everything to a virtual machine.

No! The main difference between you and your brother aren't mutations, but which part of your DNA you get from your mother and which part from your father. (I'm not a biologist/geneticist.)

My examples are a bit more serious than Hugo Boss or IBM. Bell and Ford ideologically supported the Nazis. (Spreading antisemic books, pushing eugenics laws in California.) Check out my links above. It's worth it.
I don't want to sound like a tinfoil hatter (even if I do), but something tells me that these guys are contracted by the government because supporters of the Patriot Act are thinning in numbers.
So our politicians will always be the popular kids, and they won't care about the logical-thinking outcasts, because it wouldn't get them anything.

Well, Firefox 2.x was pretty slow, and leaked a lot of memory, and it wasn't written in Java... Also, I don't think that Firefox devs were subpar. If the application gets complicated enough, chances to mess up memory freeing are high. Also a lot of people don't know that the JVM allocates predetermined amount of memory from the OS from startup, and you can change it in proper command line options. So the memory footprint depends a lot on how the application is deployed.
Will, to do real work they have to know the problem domain. And to be honest, writing games is more fun than writing a prime number seeking program. Also, one man's "real work" is another's useless fluff.

I think the key is homoiconicity, not functionalness. Prolog isn't a functional language, and it's mainly used for domain specific languages/one-off compilers.

I thought creating new objects in Java is especially expensive.
Ref counting should have it's overhead, shouldn't it?

The problem with multigenerational homes, is that the elderly often feel they have right to control the life of their adult children.
Java ME has been on cell phones for ages (even my dumphone can do it). Actually, originally Java was created especially for embedded devices.

"I was in that world [NATO] for so long that when it looks and feels like a Cold War, there may be something else going down."
So it's not Cold War, and summary title is wrong?
May I suggest a new name? It's the Cloud War. Just to be even more nebulous.

Well, in shop class or chemistry class children can be injured, however you can teach programming at a very early age (9-10 year olds).
Of course on Slashdot everyone is above average.
