Well, in defence of Javaland, it is a consequence how easy it
I hesitated to add Javaland to the list, exactly because of that.
I believe it was successful because, first, was designed *by a
company* (just like C# is) and, second, because it was mostly
like C++ but with increased verbosity (and that means less
cryptic and easier to follow a diff).
I am not the first to consider that Java's verbosity is a good
thing for a company. But, I confirm that: in my day-to-day job,
we use C (and some C++). You would be amazed how much our
guidelines lead us towards increased verbosity (names,
annotations/comments, declarations).
