Re: [pygame] man oh man Java is painful

Curiously enough, I've recently been ruing Java's existence myself.  In summary--it has syntax as bad as C, but is slower and more convoluted--not to mention not as capable (pointer arithmetic, anyone?).  C# is basically Java, except it's garbage collector sucks (Java's is actually very good), and it's unportable.  C++ is a pain to learn, but it's definitely worth it.  In my opinion it's the best compiled language.
