A chronology of a bunch of derived classes based on a real life experience called Object written by Mr. Gosling. Yeah, good novel! History is bieng written by People with Imagination. Who knows maybe the next Gosling is going to be one of us....

Yes, Java forces you for example to check exceptions and so on. By doing this it tries to reduce the number of bugs in the program. However, sometimes this complexity is redundant. There are bunch of languages that allows you to write less code for the same tasks and still run it on JVM. Take a look for example at Scala (or Groovy, or any other JVM language). However, knowledge of Java will allow you to understand different caveats in Scala too.
