 "Java's a drug you rub on venture capitalists to make them 
 crazy." John Doerr (Java One, 1996)
 
 Which I found from:
 "Disruptive Programming Language Technologies"
 Todd A. Proebsting - Programming Language Systems - Microsoft 
 Research http://www.eecg.toronto.edu/~tsa/crgpapers/disruptive.pdf
 
 In that (white?)paper Proebsting comes to the conclusion: 
 
 "Algorithms and design make the big difference --
 Not optimizing compilers "
 
 (Whoa whatta *big* surprise, right)

 I say if Java really had good garbage collection, 
 every Java program would remove all its buggy attempts at threading 
 (they are mostly trash) -- 
 of course whenever you deal with Java threading, there are 
 always some exceptions.
