Java - It's Simple

• Java has only the necessary functionality needed to implement its feature set.
• It has omitted the features of C and C++ which have been considered to be "unsafe"
  • pointer "forging"
  • operator overloading
  • static objects
• Memory is managed automatically, relieving the programmer from being responsible for freeing unused space
• There is no Java preprocessor - the program that you see is the same program that the Java compiler sees.
