Java is a minivan.

That's right, Java/J2EE is a minivan. It is not sexy or hip like Ruby or Python. It is sensible, practical, gets the job done, and is relatively easy on the software industry environment. C#/Dot-Net, of course, is the SUV: crass, macho, and a real environmental hazard, especially to endangered species soon to be Redmond roadkill like Borland, Ximian, SourceGear, etc.

Go Dave! I think that's the first time I've read you go after something like that. "...crass, macho and a real environmental hazard" Very amusing. :-) You should let it out more often! -Russ

I'm just playing along with Philip Greenspun's game of making silly uninformed generalizations for comedic effect. BTW, I love James Robertson's "elephants stampeding across the savannah" comment - lots of truth there.
