| I like Java, though all of my classes are in stuff other than Java. :( |

I love it!!
So much better than Lua once you get the hang of it. I learned it my first semester of college, so it wasn't hard to learn.
Java is horribly hard to learn outside of a classroom. |

Taking AP Computer Science next year, so definitely going to be learning it.
It's one of the few languages I know absolutely nothing about, so it should be fun. |

| You're lucky. My high-school's AP Computer Programming teaches Ruby, which is no fun at all. The non-AP version teaches Pythong. Wow. |

While I personally hate Python, it is extremely useful and is actually quite easy to learn. It's also fast and portable for a scripting language.
Much more worth learning Python than Ruby. |

I'm in 6th grade, so I'm too young for high-school computer programming classes ;c
But, I learn on my own, just like what I did with trigonometry.

You taught yourself trig in grade 6? You're heading places. Most of the people in my Pre-Cal 10 class didn't understand it.
I like Java, and I'm teaching myself it currently. As was said earlier, it is quite difficult to learn outside a class. |

What do you hate about Python? Is it because it's a strong-type language? |

Python is disgusting. The syntax is horrible. That and I associate it with all of the classes I hated (Physics and Data Mining, to be exact).
Ew. |

I loved physics. I would have loved it even more if I had gone to school at least 75% of the time. Physics was the hardest class of all to catch up on. We discussed an extremely important concept one day, and then another day we did something else. If I missed the day with the concept, I would be way behind, and not even know it.
I wish I took AP physics though. |

| I don't think Java is necessary. It's slower than C-based languages, such as C and C++. It's focused on OOP, which, from what I've seen, is only useful in a group of newly-hired and inexperienced programmers, as well as organizing your code. If you want to go object-oriented, there's C++ and C# for that. |

| Our class is very slow in computer science (we just got to methods after a quarter), so I would say I'm disappointed more in our school than the language itself |

I'm the other way around. I don't like Java, but all my classes are in it :(
All of my interfaces are in it too... weird... |

| My school only guarantees offering one computer science class, all the others are only available if there is "sufficient demand", which means never. |

@agent
Now I'm legitimately confused as to what kind of "classes" you meant.. |
