I think steveklabnik is right. For instance, take a look at this Java bug, which is relatively recent: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bugs.openjdk.java.net&#x2F;browse&#x2F;JDK-8046516" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;bugs.openjdk.java.net&#x2F;browse&#x2F;JDK-8046516</a><p>On the same grounds you could label Java as a language &quot;not ready for prime time yet&quot;.
