Re: Fewer lines of code == fewer bugs?
The logic describes what a program does.
The syntax describes how it does it.
Java's syntax is way too verbose so the wheat (logic) gets lost in the chaff (syntax).
It takes years to see thru syntax and see the logic.
Whats missing from Java is a decent run-time, something to join up programs.
Objective_C has one and its proved very successful.
The closest Java comes is a hulking server.
Oh, and being able to easily and safely split a java program into libraries. 20 odd years they are solving that. Way too slow.
To quote Joe Armstrong - If you are writing code for a DV player then Java is fine.
