Leaving library issues and VM aside, Java is a vastly superior
language. Apple would have done themselves and their developers a
big favor if they had based Cocoa on Java or C#-like knockoff
rather than Objective-C.
You really should use Objective-C in the real world for a while
before making such judgments. Objective-C is purposely a loose
language based on engineers establishing and following programming
patterns instead of the language enforcing such patterns itself.
Java and Objective-C are different languages in fundamental ways
(however with a lot of similarities) so black and white comparisons
such as what you state above is unfair to the strengths of each
language.
