It's called 'Java is Back!' But did it ever go anywhere?"

    Agreed...it has been proven...and is told to me by every comp sci prof i've had...java is 4 to 6 times SLOWER than c++. The compile at runtime environment is abhorrently slow. Last semester i had the honor of taking a CS course from Bjorne Stroustrup, the inventor of C++. Stroustrup is currently working on a new C based language that will blow Java out of the water. Seriously guys...keep javascript...trash Java!
