There's nothing wrong with Java other than that's Sun focussing on Solaris and Linux. And Windows, of course. Stability is a tough nut to crack. As you should know, Java the language, has no flaws pertaining to stability as such. My pet beef with it is that it is slow. It uses that two world thingum GC and stuff, whilest I like reference counting. The other thing with Java is that it is trailing Smalltalk by twelve years or so. None of which has, again, anything to do with stability as such. Java is one thing. The environment you run it in another. Nothing is perfect. So with OSs. But which do you feel most comfortable with? Which do you feel you can trust?
