This evolution may compromise Java's claim of being simpler than C++, but my guess is that the effort will make Java a better language than it is today.

After all, C++ isn't a perfect match for Java's design aims either.

Personally, I look forward to better tools for analyzing C++ source code.

People who passionately want to believe that the world is basically simple react to this with a fury that goes beyond what I consider appropriate for discussing a programming language.

Thus, the standard library will serve as both a tool and as a teacher.

I have always wished for a computer that would be as easy to use as my telephone. My wish came true. I no longer know how to use my telephone.
