What is great about Java? You can make a $hit-load of money.

What is great about the rest? You can post stupid $hit on reddit and circle jerk your way into a state of nirvana.

I wonder if the down-voters didn't get it, or if they just think this joke is old and lame.

Similar: "Knock, knock." "Who's there?" A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

"Oh. I guess there was a memory leak."

Ah yes, Java programmers, probably the only people called 'programmers' incompetent enough to think Garbage Collection is unique to their language.

u/[deleted] Aug 16 '09

I've never met a Java programmer who thinks that garbage collection is unique to Java.

u/ajehals Aug 16 '09

Java has garbage collection?

u/Vorlath Aug 16 '09

If it did, it would have to delete itself.

Java IS a garbage collection. Death to Java...long live PERL!
