In the enterprise space, you tend to see java and .Net, with old perl code being converted.

Unfortunately, I know what that means, but I don't understand their fascination with Java in particular - all the flaws of C++ and all the flaws of an interpreted language, plus the weasel justification of "portability" with all the ability to make it unportable.

Why use languages with such demonstrated low productivity? My only supposition is that the programmers in "the enterprise space" don't care - they actually hate their jobs, and they hate writing programs.
