Esoteric???
What the heck? Is java esoteric?? I didn't know I always programmed in an esolang.--TehZ 07:07, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. No real language could possibly be that verbose. --Ørjan 16:03, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
 * But some languages are more verbose, like... uhm... ASM?--TehZ 10:54, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Sheesh, obviously I meant languages for human use. Also you need your humor detector calibrated.  --Ørjan 15:21, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I know. :P --TehZ 13:23, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Okay, after trying other languages, I see that java is esoteric, but PHP was deleted, so shouldn't java be deleted too? --TehZ 11:42, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Deletion
We don't really need any more "popular language is esoteric because I dislike it" articles, and have deleted them in the past. At least Perl has the Interpretation section; this article offers nothing of the sort. It doesn't even mock Java itself, just Sun's marketing of it. Does anyone object to deleting this article? —ehird 10:03, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
