just kidding...I know Java as well, and although I use C++ much more heavily because I don't really like Java, I must admit Java does have some features that are very nice. I quite like interfaces myself, which are possible in C++ but arent very common and are a little more defined in Java.
I mean that they improved some of the things of other languages when they incorporated some of the ideas into this language, but on the other hand they also messed up in some things.
