The 'Anti-Java' Professor and the Jobless Programmers

He's right on, too. We have to teach new interns at work about the intricacies of memory allocation in C and C++ - they just don't understand why you have to reserve memory and then clean it up yourself, when the system they've been learning in school just does it all for you. My fear is that Java will be abandoned to be replaced by .Net - which is worse.

Actually, this top computer science professor isn’t exactly ‘anti-Java’ – but he deplores its effect on CS studies. And he sees dark clouds ahead if something doesn’t change.
