I have to stand up for Java here. It's cleaner and neater than any language based on C could ever be. The restrictions that people see in Java are there to keep things clean and simple. Not being allowed to poke about wherever you want does stop you from doing certain things, but I think you will find that most of these are where a programmer already has a preconceived solution that can't be implemented in Java. A little lateral though will provide a cleaner solution that can be implemented.

Having said that, I choose to program in ObjC

As long as you keep away from straight C and its characteristic "dirty hack" style wherever possible, you can produce elegant code in ObjC.

And the docs are way better!

And there are lots of helpful people using it....
