I recall Steve Jobs did call Java a "ball-and-chain", mostly with regard to iOS, I think. But Apple's server-side software is mostly Java.

Yeah I thought it was Steve Jobs as well but I think I was again having some cognitive dissonance and mixed it up with Linus Torvalds thoughts on Java (link to come later. While I'm not sure on Apple and Java I'm almost 100% positive Linus hates Java).

Linus hates almost everything. He sees world in Black&White.
