I still remember that Java made quite on effect on me 14+ years ago, when I compared it to C++ (that was my language of choice). I appreciate many ideas that I see in new languages, but there's none that "catches" me as Java vs C++ did. I think is this "catch-factor" (which probably has got a certain irrational, subjective component) that the Next Big Language needs to emerge.
