In this list the term FUD is so inflationary used, that i just used it 
too. But you must admit that you can rarely say something positive about 
java right? And you spoke about 3rd party libs, not products. We have a 
deal, but then please pay attention to the terms. We dont want to 
alienate first time java users with sentences that sound like you dont 
get any libraries for that language, in fact you get tons of that 
everywhere you look. For people considering doing this language and 
coming from RPG, the 3rd party lib support is just plain unbelivable.

Its somehow crazy that even being in a java list, i find myself 
defending the language over and over again.
