Is it really the point to teach OO though?
Java is being used everywhere. And you get to learn the basic as well as the huge ecosystem behind it. Apart from possibly Python, are there any language that get you both in terms of market and learning?
And Java have make huge improvement in every part of the ecosystem, from languages, standard library, VMs. While I still dont like the language much, but I have gotten off the so called busy and verbose code view as I age. As they do serve some purpose. We need better balance, right now languages design are binary and polarised options.
