Java is good for amateur programmers, because if you are less skilled, a less practical and helpful tool will work. Makes sense.

@dibblego You mean http://www.das-motorrad-blog.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/bosch_stuetzraeder2-e1321457990296.jpg … ain't good for non professionals?

@jnfrd that looks like a helpful tool to me.

@dibblego at 50 mph? I'm not so sure ...

@jnfrd A helpful tool needn't be universally applicable.

@dibblego indeed, helpful and universally applicable are usually exclusive.

@jnfrd Unhelpful, non-existentially applicable and Java go hand-in-hand.

@dibblego Well, one can write reasonable and working java code, it is just very very hard to do so. A very bad tool by your definition.
