AH - a fresh perspective. You tell him, Dave!
Java has a good reputation as a development language.
JavaScript is completely different.
VB dot-net (like you said) is beginning to look a lot like Java.-
I'm glad I'm not the only one that noticed that).

Dot-net will unfortunately catch on - because it is M$.

first, scriptkiddies are not 'coders', they are idiots who only know
enough
to run scripts that they download from hacker sites.

second, java is a language and it is definately not a 'scripting'
language.
it is a full featured high level language. you might be confusing java
with
javascript. javascript is completely different and should never be
mentioned in the same sentence with java.

finally, there is no one that works in c++ who wants to rename it java,
they
are very different things. however, c# is microsofts attempt to merge c++
and java, likewise vb.net is their attempt at merging vb and java. how
well
it works is still being worked out i think.
