I think that is a pretty good description of one aspect of Java
"failure". I've tended to say that Java can't make up it's mind as to
whether it is really a VHLL or just another statically typed compiled
language. In many ways, _as a language_, it ends up being the worst of
all possible worlds. In practice it definitely has some advantages...
