There are some on-line articles comparing Java with C++. Some of them emphasize C++'s advantages, while others highlight Java's. Who's that guy who write "Thinking in Java"? He had a pretty comprehensive one, although it's dated now. [[User:Ed Poor]]

What is the point of this article except to allow a group of people to explain why they dislike C++? This does not belong in an encyclopedia. It is original research, unsourced and POV. I am proposing this article be deleted since it seems more like a bulletin board for people who dislikes C++. Also, are we going to have articles comparing every language out there?

I agree. Although it may be a popular topic in the blog-o-sphere, comparing Java to C++ is an arbitrary selection of two different programming languages with very different approaches and goals. It doesn't seem any different than trying to compare an apple and an orange. Furthermore, as the debate further below shows, it's probably impossible to provide an article that is more educational than a list of features and yet still maintains a neutral point-of-view. People can't compare languages without devolving into a debate about "which one is better", when that depends so much on what you are trying to achieve that no article can answer it for anybody, and would be nothing but opinions if it tried. I just don't think this is a good fit for Wikipedia's format and is better left to people writing blogs or hot takes on twitter. I second the notion of deleting this article.
