For cost reasons the space agency is more and more interested in using Java for safety-critical missions. Until recently the lack of a time-predictable standard library has been a major hurdle to Java adoption in that particular field. It is no more the case as demonstrated by this AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics) paper [.pdf] presented the first day of the Space 2007 conference (Long Beach, CA) and introducing the first fully time-deterministic (and open-source) library for Java: Javolution.

Dude, if there is one good thing about Java it's the API, which has incredible depth and is very well designed. I'm not saying it doesn't have warts (all languages do), but maybe you could give an example of what you think is so horrible? Seriously.
