BeanShell is brilliant because, essentially, it's dynamically typed Java.
Further, to my knowledge, you don't need to write integration code like you do in other languages (think exporting C functions to Lua - BeanShell only requires an 'import' statement to import any Java package or class in the classpath).
It's very cool:) I've been using it for user interface prototyping, such that I can change my user interface without a recompile. Which is, y'know, nice:)

My bet would be that C# was developed taken into consideration common complaints about Java - or things that were already planned to be added to Java 'some time in the future'.
And hats off to Microsoft for doing so, C# is a nice language.
I agree, however, that the next release of Java will raise a few eyebrows wrt 'fixing' Java's current 'problems' (if you could call them that - they're more like syntactic unpleasantries).
You can't offer your Lint: it's not yours to offer. That is, it's us - not you, not Novell - who are currently in posession of the OpenLintSource98(tm) IP.
Fuck with us and we'll take your Lint away. That goes anyone else we find using your particular version of Lint for that matter.

Oh wait! I forgot to take in to account that/. editors not only don't understand that bad grammer isn't infact "cool", but that it can also be missleading.
Of course, it isn't helped by the fact that/. editors capitalise words like "be", and also--in this case--mix it with un-capitalised words for total inconsistancy.
Hell, I have far from perfect grammer and spelling, but atleast I can get that right.
I haven't RTA, but how would you determine which code goes in what source files? On a per-class basis? And then end up with files like "a.hpp" "a.cpp" "aaa.hpp" etc.?
Or put them all into one big source dump, which would take an eternity to load up for any non-trivial program? Mind you, disassemblers tend to work this way...
I think this would also be slow and horribly inefficient - ever tried to disassemble executables that are a hundred MB or so in size? Still waiting? Multiply that time ten fold as JMPs, JNZ and JZs are analyzed to determine whether something is a while, do-while or a for loop. Or to determine if a statement is a 'break' or a 'goto'.
All this before even mentioning the matter of different compilers - g++, msvc, borland c++, etc., etc. etc.
Ah I dunno, who cares - to ye who implements this shit: kudos, my friend, kudos.

IIRC, although you can access member NAMES using reflection in Java, you can't actually access the values at runtime without crazy exceptions being thrown - IllegalAccessException or something like that.
Which is, y'know, nice.
To take my dig, I don't think being able to access private member variables is too much of a problem. Unless you're a fool, and have private member variables like 'private string rootPassword', 'private boolean allowHax0ring' or 'private int numSecurityFlaws', your code should generally be unaffected. So this just proves to be a neato trick I guess - with limited scope for malicious use.

X running on RedHat 8.1 with my Athlon XP 1800+ is slow when compared to the WinXP UI. And I don't play games on Linux - that's what Windows is for - I code.

But I'm not going to 'look beyond what's good enough for the PC in my bedroom right now'. Why the hell should I? After all, I'm using my computer now and I want it to work to the best of its ability.

In Windows, this isn't a problem - Explorer covers up all that shit for you. Great - but the command line in Windows is slightly more painful because of this.
Personally, I don't like using Linux for most stuff - I've become accustomed to the fluffyness of VC++ and - more recently - VS.NET.
However, I know nit-picking when I see it - the names in Linux make sense (usually!:)), they just have different names. Once more, that's because Linux != Windows.
