Robert Stephen Rodgers makes some good points about what
should and shouldn't be priorities in making Java a
success. One question though: the "Yes" list states
a need for "Something akin to BoundsChecker or Purify".
Don't the garbage collection and true array features
of Java obviate the need for these kinds of utilities?
My impression is that Java has been designed to produce
code that doesn't require the kinds of pesticide
needed to debug C, e.g. memory leaks and rogue pointers.
