It is impossible to write code that runs differently every time
because you forgot to initialise something. Java either initialises
for you or insists you do it.

In Java it is impossible to free an object yet retain pointers to it.

In Java it is impossible to leap into the middle of random code/data
and start executing doing all manner of weird things.

In Java it is impossible to have a pointer point to something other
than what it purports to.

It�s amazing how much structure natural languages have when you consider who speaks them and how they evolved.
