    ZaBu911: you idiot :-)

    If you are still at school you either are an incredible genius or for every problem you solve in C++ a likewise java program is
    a) equaly fast or faster
    b) crashes not under circumstances your c++ version will crash
    c) or if it crashes it will give a meaningfull error message from the VM while exiting, like "Out Of Memory Exception".

    I wrote 12 years C++ programs. I consider me in the same league like Andrew, Jimmy and Bjarne(probably 2 years below).

    I write JAVA since 4(>) years.

    If a program is slow, 90% of the time its the programmers or designers fault.

    Since JIT compilers for JAVA are in common use, a lot of other /. posts showed that, JAVA is not slow.

    I think the idiot in this case is you.

    It's still a useless bit of fluff - based on observations about the language and not projects that are actually using it.

    Small list of open-source Java projects:

    • Jakarta - the Apache Software Foundation's primary Java development site. Most notable are their Tomcat and Ant projects.
    • Xerces - a pure-Java XML parser (there's a C++ version too) - also by the Apache Software Foundation.
    • jEdit - pure Java text editor. Very powerful and easily extensible with Java plugins.
    • Over 4000 projects at SourceForge.
    • Freenet - the idea behind the network has gotten a lot of publicity, it's client is written in Java.

    There's quite a community based around Java - I would suggest people start looking at those aspects of its cover.

    And this expert, me, will tell you that both Java and Linux need to die.
