Funny thing it is that it started exactly as a reaction to those 
muddy waters.

I believe this is the "Stroustrup curse":

Much of the relative simplicity of Java is - like for most new 
languages - partly an illusion and partly a function of its 
incompleteness. As time passes, Java will grow significantly in 
size and complexity. It will double or triple in size and grow 
implementation-dependent extensions or libraries. That is the way 
every commercially successful language has developed. Just look 
at any language you consider successful on a large scale. I know 
of no exceptions, and there are good reasons for this phenomenon.
