54 ;;Quote: Java separates data and implementation; data contains type tags that identify appropriate implementations, e.g., for downloading

55 ;;Quote: Java seldom uses warning messages; e.g., 'used-before-set' is an error

55 ;;Quote: Java does not allow a local name to override a global name; an earlier version with name hiding caused accidental errors

55 ;;Quote: garbage collection is essential for reliability; avoids memory leaks and dangling pointers which are expensive to correct

55 ;;Quote: Java uses Modula 3's exception model; it works well and must be provided; e.g., an exception caused the loss of Ariane 5

55 ;;Quote: because of Java's late binding it is easy to change methods and private variables; just need to retain old methods or their type signatures

56 ;;Quote: class loaders in Java locate an implementation for a class by its textual name; e.g., locate a handler for a new MIME type by its name

56 ;;Quote: designed Java's semantics so that 'a=b+c' and 'p.m' could be implemented quickly; e.g., lead to static typing

56+;;Quote: strong typing simplifies syntactic analysis and identifies many programming errors
