Java's uptake grew quickly because it was adopted by major institutions: colleges, businesses, etc. They chose Java because it was a relatively simply language that could handle a large number of problem domains relatively well (though it may not be suited perfectly for any or all those domains).

With each new feature, Java grows in complexity. A time will come when many will say about Java what was said about C++, "it's too complex."

I'm in agreement is Ex-borlander that more focus should be directed at improving current features, increasing VM performance, etc.
