* Comprehensive class library (which is very well [http://java.sun.com/javase/reference/api.jsp documented])
* [[garbage collection|Automatic memory management]] (So users don't have to learn memory management)
* Huge user community
* Well supported by the [[open source]] community and commercial industry ([[Sun Microsystems|Sun]], [[IBM]], [[Oracle]], HP, BEA, [[Mac OS X|Apple]], etc.)

* Not compiled (Allowing for super-duper speed?)
* "You acknowledge that Software is not designed, licensed or intended for use in the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear facility." -See the EULA
