I don't understand why java wins?

despite:

- the mess with ".equals()" and "==".

- arrays don't accepts generics.

- no (non-verbose) partial application

- awfully verbose syntax that clutters the screen with unimportant things making important things hard to spot.

- the confusing leaky abstraction with Integer and int.
