What is Java good at
Java was the language designed for us to figure out what was going wrong at compile time not run time. We were supposed to be able to not have to worry about the things that tripped us up in the days of C. I'm not opposed to metaprogramming and not having to catch exceptions and not having to write a ton of template code -- but I'm not sure that Java, the language, should change to accommodate all of these ideas. Also, did we learn nothing from the EJB wars about what can be added to a spec and why?
