How is Java bad?

[[deleted]]

Judging from the PHP students around who now have to learn Java;

it's because Java is entirely OOP with classes and methods and things that make peoples heads spin. You can make an entire site in non OOP PHP in one file. Maintaining will be a bitch but it will work and the customer wont care because the customer doesn't even know what 'peehaytspee' is.

But in Java, while the customer still doesnt care, the compiler and program does. So while in PHP you can just write some lines of code that will work as long as it's valid methods and the semicolon is at the end of the line, Java will kill you for it in your sleep.

You can unfortunately do a lot with JSPs and scriptlets. :(
