Yeah, though it's not like Java has been without changes.

I figured (but don't really know) that Python found various niches, so expanded in popularity, whereas Java found those things much earlier.

Though it's also a bit different, what with the lack of semi-colons. Personally, while I like the semi-colons for a variety of reasons, it turns out that it's _way_ more hassle to make semi-colons on non-US keyboards.

Makes sense. From when I went to school, I viewed C++11 as being the language one used for parallel-processing things. Realistically, that's way over simplifying things, but clearly whatever they added was absolutely necessary for dealing with newer hardware.
