What do you mean by these? I think I know about you mean, but
don't see how they're lacking in Java. Unless you mean you don't
like garbage collectors. The final keyword gives you constants.

Never really missed enums until I started using Java's new enums,
which are really nice. Being able to attach code to enums is really
useful, and somethig I was shocked recently to find C# doesn't allow.

This is the biggest advantage of Java, and also of C#. C# probably
wins on the quick development side since a lot of the stuff to do
the same in Java isn't 'standard'.
