And that is exactly what I am calling out as wrong, it implies that superficial, syntactical resemblance is more important than the large semantical differences. This is not just a theoretical issue, I have seen way too many people being confused by this, in a working environment, starting to copy code and ideas between Java and C++ and wondering why it behaved differently.
How can anybody in their right mind maintain that Java is C-based? The only thing that is relatively C-like in Java is the syntax, but the virtual machine and object models are so far away that it isn't even funny. Welcome to the superficial world.
