Java Features -- It's Simple and Familiar!

Java omits several rarely used, poorly understood and confusing features of C++ including operator overloading, multiple inheritance, pointers and automatic type coercion's.

It adds automatic garbage collection which makes dynamic programming easier in Java than in C or C++.

It also adds 'Interface' construct, similar to Objective C concept, which often compensates for the lack of multiple inheritance by allowing method calling syntax to be "inherited".
