appservers ARE a good indication. A high percentage of Java software happens to run on them...
And just because desktops are delivered with 1.5 (and maybe, though I've not seen them 1.6) JREs preinstalled by now doesn't mean the software running on those JVMs is written for them. Most of it is still written to 1.4 and maybe 1.5 standards.
As to C(++), it was designed with function pointers in mind, they weren't bolted on as an afterthought in a way that's poorly designed and obfuscates the syntax of the language at a time when that language has been around for over a decade and has perfectly good alternatives that have a syntax that IS in line with the general design of the language. |
