What *you* are insinuating about the Java language is entirely unsupported by reality. For one, you provide absolutely no evidence to support even one of your statements. For another, compare the memory and CPU required to run an application such as LimeWire, Tomcat or NetBeans/Forte that's written in Java to applications that are written in C/C++, such as gtk-gnutella, qtella, Apache or VisualStudio. Java is the most bloated CPU and memory-hogging application that I have ever had the displeasure to come in contact with. Your comments are *also* ignorant, crass, and obtuse. Being deluded enough to believe that Java is extremely elegant, stable, as fast as native code and merely with increased latency noticable at load time is one thing, but expecting people to believe your claims, after they see empirical evidence that demonstrates that your claims are false, is absurd.
