I suspect a lot of people here would have no problem with it, another
big advantage of Java is that it's rather easy to write and debug Java
programs... It's a little early for a verdict, since there haven't been
a lot of studies, but early studies and anecdotal evidence seem to
indicate something like double the programmer productivity with Java, as
compared to C++.
