You obviously know nothing in the areana of computer science and programming theory. Java is a great edjucational language because its obvious OO structure, but sux ass because its just too slow. No one wants an interpreted language simply for that fact.
Applications you run are most likely Win32 based written using C++. Almost 95% of IBM compatible applications are written in C++.
MS has recently started the .NET Framework which is identical to Java's features but runs faster and has MS support. Sorry but Sun can't keep up with MS.
And this discussion board is written in php, a server-side, crossplatofrm HTML embedded scripting language. The way you can tell its written in php is cause the extention of the link is .php. Anyways, most discussion boards are php based. Java would be too slow. The way you tell an App, ActiveX control, or web applet is written in Java is because it takes forever to load
Give me your input on Java and programming languages 5 years from now when you get some real industry experience and not something your read on some webpage at your university.
