Java = SUV Part Duex

"My friend Curtis, an old-time Silicon Valley monster C hacker, AIMed me to say that he'd seen the Slashdot article:

'My problem with Java is that it makes hard things hard, and easy things hard.  The amount of hassle doesn't scale with the complexity of the problem.  Whereas with PHP you can write "Hello World" without having to read a 200-page book.  Java is a train wreck with dozens of classes with slightly different methods that do similar things.  On the other hand, it kills me that the PHP database interface is so bad.  Actually PHP just kills me anyway...why they had to invent a new language, I'll never know.'"
