Now that Java has a fully open sourced implementation in RedHat's IcedTea, Neil McAllister questions whether an open Java even matters: "Even as Java has stretched outward to embrace more concepts and technologies - adding APIs and language features as it goes - newer, more lightweight tools have appeared that do most of what Java aims to do. And they often do it better."

I learned python recently and love it. Going back and having to touch Java code that I wrote is really sad. I look at some things and I say, man... I could do those 30 lines of java code in 6 lines of python and it would be easier to understand.
At some point I should look into jython.
