Lack of 'unsigned' was to make it a simpler language to learn and to make it less likely to introduce hard to spot bugs. Converting from unsigned to signed and vice-versa can obviously lose information, and if you allow it you open up a whole can of warnings and potential esoteric problems. Anyone who has ever fallen foul of the 'unitary negation on an unsigned variable produces unsigned results' issue in C++ should know what I'm talking about. Java isn't C++. Nor is Python. Language comparisons are largely pointless, IMO, each one is designed from a particular standpoint and the strengths and weaknesses are linked to using it in that context. If that's not appropriate for your app, use another language, don't bitch about it ;)[/quote]
