C and C++ may have additional uses as machine/assembly level programming languages that Java does not intend to be.

What restrains Java from becoming the trendiest Desktop GUI ?
I don't know much. In fact it is almost true if I say I don't know anything about java at all... But I have used some java web applications such as eshare chat. And I recently used a yahoo messenger on the web, that loaded after flashing the java logo.
Java has been there on the web, but I understand not so much on the desktop. May be this has been Java's focus.
