I suppose I should say something positive...

It's a lot nicer than Python...
It's not Java.

-edit- RedscullDC, I've never used generics so have no idea what they are, or what I would use them for. But the syntax looks really awkward :-/

I really like Java, what are your reasons for not liking it ?  i but I agree Python is horrible :)

generics are pretty useful, does obj-c not have them

I couldn't get around using a language where indentation and spacing determined code blocks.  No thanks.

And having has to use an interpreted non typed language through work for years I just feel that leaving an interpreter to work out the variable types from their use is just not cricket.
