Oddly enough 'bb' is something I wrote about in my series in the LG:

As for Java... hmm, I like the syntax, but it is slow. C++ goes a long way
to correcting this, but still has the stigma of not being true OO since it
is merely C with an OO addition to it (so-called hybrid language). The
*real* OO language that I love is ruby.

At University, we use nothing but Java, with a little C in the third year.

That's ok. Just don't come running to me complaining you can't login
anymore because /var is full and /var/log/wtmp cannot be written to :)
