Java is also the most widely used programming language in the world.Whatthe heck is so evil about it?
I don't think so. Not by a wide margin.
And you are basing this on what?
See http://www.fawcette.com/online_eprods/jfawcette2002_01_09/
And of course nearly every CS course now uses Java as an introductory language (since OOP principles are now taught from the start) the way Pascal used to be (when structured programming was the leading methodology).
And during the decade or so that Pascal was popular in education it went on to be a popular 'real world' programming language with Turbo Pascal and eventually Delphi.
The same thing happened with C and C++ in turn. And now Java.
