You clearly were not there at the start. Java was a perfectly nice, well designed language.

That's true, but I guess only after Java people started to notice this effect.

I still remember how Java was hailed as a perfect replacement for C++ as the language of choice when writing applications - it truly was.

Today though I was faced with a class name that was 46 characters long. There's a reason why "Fizz Buzz Enterprise Edition" is written in Java.
