Reading through some basic Sun language docs, I remember why I hated C++:

class SwitchDemo2 {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        int month = 2;
        int year = 2000;
        int numDays = 0;

        switch (month) {
            case 1:
            case 3:
            case 5:
            case 7:
            case 8:
            case 10:
            case 12:
                numDays = 31;
                break;
            case 4:
            case 6:
            case 9:
            case 11:
                numDays = 30;
                break;
            case 2:
                if ( ((year % 4 == 0) && !(year % 100 == 0))
                     || (year % 400 == 0) )
                    numDays = 29;
                else
                    numDays = 28;
                break;
            default:
                System.out.println("Invalid month.");
                break;
        }
        System.out.println("Number of Days = " + numDays);
    }
}

Or Ruby:

month, year = 3, 2000

days = case month
  when 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12  then 31
  when 4, 6, 9, 11            then 30
  when 2 then
    if ((year % 4).zero? && (year % 100 != 0)) || (year % 400).zero?
      29
    else
      28
    end
  else raise "Invalid Month"
end

puts "Number of Days = #{days}"

You've gotta love Java having to wrap everything in a class though... It feels so "object oriented"

Heh, reminiscing back to that wonderfully hilarious statement that "Apple loves Java." They have shown how much they love it with their new Mac OS X 10.5, Leopard. On the page of 300 new features, number of sections in which the following technologies are mentioned
JavaScript: 3
Python: 4
Ruby: 5
Java: 0

Leopard has added the latest versions of Ruby, Rails, Mongrel, and a number of other gems included by default. They worked closely with the Ruby community to make this possible. Java... still at Java 5. Java 6, released nearly a year ago, will be added as a separate download at some undetermined later date. Can you feel the love?

Update: More here, here, and here. Funny stuff
