Java Sucks

I don't like Java. I think it's one of the ugliest programming languages ever conceived. Java is also very verbose. Let's start off with the simplest thing you can possibly do in Java - output "Hello World!" to the screen. First you need a class. Then you need a method. Finally, you write this:

System.out.println("Hello World!");

Now here is the same thing in PHP:

echo "Hello World!";

I know, I know. It's an apples and oranges comparison. PHP is a web scripting language and Java is an object oriented programming language that is meant for desktop applications. Sure, there are Java applets, servlets and JSP that make Java web friendly but I'm not interested in any of that.

Isn't that a lot to write, though? Just to output Hello World to the screen? I think it is.

I'm also not into object oriented programming. I love writing code in a procedural way and that's just how I roll.
