"it's horrible to program in, but it saves companies from the effects of having truly stupid engineers and even more incompetent managers who don't allow programmers to document their code let alone require it."
Quite the opposite for me. I love Java because I can sit down hammer away at solving problems instead of worrying about bull-shit minutia wasting days of my life writing code I could've solved in an afternoon using Java (though results obviously vary depending on the specific projects involved). This is someone who came from almost entirely C development (never gave C++ a chance and in retrospect, I'm glad from what I hear).
"But a good programmer can accomplish a lot more in a more powerful language."
Details please. How can said individual work more effectively and in which specific languages please? Your single-pointed rant with 0 clarification makes you come off as a troll at best, and an irrationally biased individual at worst.
