Why is it that people always tend to use Java if they need
to compare a new and shiny language to something else?

Java might (have) be(en) a clean and nice language, but it's one
of those with the most shortcommings i've ever seen.
Not to mention that most of them are impossible to work around,
because they are inherent in the design of java.

It's like comparing zfs/btrfs/... to vfat32.
