I'm still waiting for ~~"hack" Java~~ hacked javva (don't ask, long story),
but Java SE 6 actually has some [pretty sweet
features](http://blogs.sun.com/dannycoward/entry/java_se_6_top_ten). I've been
impressed with what Sun is doing lately, they are making the right moves. I'm
excited to see what the JRuby guys do with a GPL Java, with any luck they'll
make the JVM much more accommodating to dynamic languages, which includes my
favorite Python (Jython)
