As much as I admire and respect John C., he is far from the best reference to be used in this context. Even at the start of the post he makes it clear "I’m not a cell phone guy." Additionally, he is a game programmer, and he doesn't have much to do with the mobile industry, or works with it and in it a lot. Finally, by all accounts he is a C guy. Quake II is completely written in C, and I am pretty sure Quake III is as well. At least all the source available to download for mod making and such is in C. The guy probably would criticize C++ just as well, so him talking bad about Java is certainly understandable and expected. Anyway, I mean, I have my gripes about Java as much as the next guy, but to say that it is dead on the mobile is just silly, considering its wide use.
