The problem is that in the enterprise world with expendable
programmers, is very hard to do JVM based projects with
anything other than Java.
My experience from various training courses I have given is
that in the large corporate Web applications world, the
average programmer knows Java, just enough Java, and isn't
that interested in anything else. Gross oversimplification but
a good indicator.
That is actually the case.
The only thing I walked away with after I learned java as part
of a programming course, was how polymorphism and interfaces
worked in OO programming.
I just really wish they would change their courses for 'this is
inheritance with animals!' which although logically makes sense
(in a dictionary wikipedia way) but structurally and
programming-wise doesn't. Describing it as a building block for a
game (like item) would have made much more sense.
