lol, quite the opposite here then. i love my java, and think classes make sense. you can do all you procedural stuff in java if you like - at the end of the day if you have a well written compiler it will optimize your code but yeah it is always good to write efficiently.

rjk813 just brough C# into the equation, i have just started programming in C# at work and have to say it is a very nice language. It is very similar to java (probably why i like it) but has some similarity to C. If you want to spend all day coding your interface then Java, if you want a very nice interface and dont want to spend most of your time coding it use C#

-- i know i have a couple of different opinions to TheHeadFL but do agree that C++ is definately worth learning, it will teach you most of C and then Java is a nice easy step up.

I too learnt a **** of a lot through my compilers course and if i were ever to employ a programmer i feel this is something that they should have done too, it gives you so much understanding of what is going on and is one of my reasons for not liking .NET too much - it hides all of the real stuff from you.

GRRRR prolog.... dont ever consider learning that!!!... nasty!!
