As a java programmer who never learned C++ I get really tired of hearing how Java is like (or should be like ) c++ with its syntax. One of the things that I really like about Java is that its syntax is usually clearer than syntax in other languages. The colon is a bad idea. It looks like a java operator but represents a keyword. Very confusing. The colon would fit very well in PERL but this ain't PERL. I like PERL as well but some of the most cryptic code I've ever had to deal with was written in PERL. As for things like variance, I think it's a mistake to put this into the core language. I've never had a need for it. |

Your comment suggests you probably dont know what variance is, so why hold & express a negative opinion of it?
Since variance is a feature that works with generic types, which arent in java yet (except GJ etc), is unlikely you would have "had a need for it", is it?
