All the more reason to go with something that uses open standards, and
is open source, and easily added on by a development community. (I

I kind of agree with you about Java (although Java programs to tend
to be less convoluted than C or C++), but in that case C# would be
just as stupid and convoluted, being a derivation of Java re-written
to work only with Microsoft resources.
