Let me ask this, do we have developers that "do" OO programming?

Do the current developers "do" C++ or Java?

I personally, like Java, but I mostly do backend web development. Could Java

Since Linux got a HotSpot capable jvm, things are much better, but before that
writing Java code for linux was, "Write once, crawl everywhere".
