There's just one minor problem with these videos -- they're packed with lies! Java never fulfilled its write once, run anywhere promise; and the JVMs are so badly written that they present one of the most lucrative attack targets on PCs these days.

The biggest problem with any language is the tendency for users to extend it into areas the language creators didn't intend for, nor prepare for, their use. This is especially true when "frameworks" are created using a language. Several Visual FoxPro developers created FoxPro Frameworks, which came with built in parts which supposedly made it easier for developers to create applications. We played with it a Revenue but decided it was too much trouble trying to fit our problem into that "solution".
I also noticed that developers extended Ruby to include frameworks, which were called "rails", i.e., Ruby On Rails. For a lot of developers it hasn't worked out well.

I didn't show any FoxPro frameworks because FoxPro is, for all intents and purposes, a dead language. There are many other examples of languages that were extended beyond their design parameters."A nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people.”
– John F. Kennedy, February 26, 1962.
