I cannot verify the authenticity of this memo. But even if it is not authentic, it is still a good summary of the problems with Java (and why I continue to this day to write my software in Perl): "1. The support model seems flawed; 2. The JRE is very large; 3. Extensions do not support modularity; 4. It is not backward-compatible across minor releases." Translated, that means: it hardly ever works, and when it does, it's only because you've installed this huge application, and even then, it runs slowly.
