Why Java Sucks – Jonathan Gardner(tech.jonathangardner.net)

    this.test(7);
    test(10);

    test(10);
    this.test(7);

    void something(Foo f) {
        if (f instanceof Bar) {
            (Bar-Specific commands)
        }
        (generic commands)
    }

    1. Someone else being bad at writing Java doesn't mean Java is bad.
    2. Sometimes XML is the correct way to do things. Do you write ALL of your web pages in Javascript adding elements in with document.createNode....()? No you use an XML notation. 

   class Test {
   	private final int i;
   	public Test(int i) {
   		this.i = i;
   	}
   	public Test() {
                this.test(7);
   		this(10);
   	}
   
   	private void test(long number) {}
   }
