Yes, definitely.

I may not be objective (tried Java, hated it after 6 years). In the long 
run, I'm afraid Java is going to slide into being Cobol/Visual Basic of 
the future. I mean, not really fun anymore. Some people want fun and some 
other don't care.

One day of reading this, for a start:

and later:
