This is a adequate characterization if you're taking the
"five-mile-high" perspective. On the ground dealing with details,
they're very, very different things with different strengths and
weaknesses. There are plenty of people who wish, as I do, Java had
taken a more C++-like approach.

Yes and no. We don't need another language in the spirit of Simula /
C++ / Java. Perhaps something the integrates AOP with OOP would be a
logical next step.
