fuck java!

Yes, I am really really tired of this mediocre language for the millions. You cannot introduce any new idea here, because tons of frameworks, ides, idiots will not understand you if you just write something new. Something new. I don't know how crazybob had managed to sell his contraption to the public, or another trick, exception runtimization. But these are very, very small things, and you can only sell them to the best; others will just shout "Achtung! Rules Broken!".

Now... have to look for something next. But I wonder what next.

What about Common Lisp or Smalltalk?

They are okay; the problem is with the lack of community. :)

Nicely put.

Do you know, by the way, about Gregor Kiczales and AspectJ?

There's a very nice paper by Gregor about application of metacircularity to object systems, something that predated AspectJ: http://www.parc.com/csl/groups/sda/publications/papers/Kiczales-TUT95/for-web.pdf

P.S. While surfacially aspect-oriented programming might sound like another buzzword, it isn't, i would ask you to suspend your disbelief :-)
