Simple
 

• The syntax is very C++ like, making the transition easy.  But, it eliminates many of the confusing parts of C++.
• Can you think of another C++ style language?
• There's also a recent language that has syntax very similar to Java.
• But, it is not simple for everyone.
• If you're used to graphical programming environments, like Visual Basic or Frontpage, you'll probably find it tougher.
• If you're used to structured programming, you have to change your paradigm to object oriented programming.
• It's not nearly as simple as JavaScript or HTML.
• And in parts it is very complex.  Sometimes for good reason.
• You can do a whole lot more with it.  For example, write Java for a Mac workstation and Windows workstation that accesses Java on a Linux server to talk to a database.  This is simply impossible in many other langagues.
• Other times, it makes me wonder.
• Trying to print out today's date in Java isn't as easy as it could be!
