Nothing’s perfect. I know C++ converts who treat it like a religious experience though. C is still faster at math. Even dedicated Java programmers should step out of Java if they have some very heavy number crunching to do. BTW: You’re experience isn’t with J# is it? You know that’s not real Java.
[You’re experience isn’t with J# is it?]
Woops, that’s one I completely forgot about, along with C#. I started to try them, but got out quickly.
I wanted a language that would still be around in 20 years so I wouldn’t have to continuously rewrite code from scratch, so I think I guessed right going to Java (everyone said I was a fool for not going Microsoft). Now I just do in house stuff for my real estate, so code longevity is more important than bleeding edge or keeping up with the microsofties. Also free development platforms like netbeans save a ton of money.
