Java Vs. C#: Which Performs Better In the 'Real World'?
Nerval's Lobster writes "Software developer Jeff Cogswell writes: 'Let's compare Java and C#, two programming languages with large numbers of ardent fans and equally virulent detractors. I'm not interested in yet another test that grindingly calculates a million digits' worth of Pi. I want to know about real-world performance: How does each language measure up when asked to dish out millions of Web pages a day? How do they compare when having to grab data from a database to construct those pages dynamically? The results were quite interesting.' Having worked as a professional C# programmer for many years, Cogswell found some long-held assumptions challenged."
Assembly is the only way to go when it comes to database oriented web apps.
I have seen it often said that when a slashdot headline ends in a question mark then the answer is no.
Maybe I should create a programming language, call it "no", and then submit a Slashdot story "What is the best programming language around?" :-)
No, that's not fine tuned enough. Standard practice here is to program an FPGA to do the less important work, with wire wrapped transistors doing anything that needs to perform well.
Anything less is, well, lazy.
You are not alone. This is not normal. None of this is normal.
Netbeans - Eclipse sucks.
So does emacs. (vi!!!!)

At my shop we engineer universes to produce all desired output at the exact moment it's needed with zero latency. It's a highly parallelized operation. Unfortunately, we currently occupy one of the universes that got mostly wrong answers.
In response to the trolling:
C#/Java Fanboy Defense Force, assemble!!
Dueling useless anecdotes.
Yes, it’s called “Slashdot”.
If you measure efficiency in terms of average revenue per line of code, it's hard to beat MS. I mean, look at Vista, it was a single line of code calling bluescreen.bmp and it made them millions.
At my company we travel back it time and tweak the early universe to give the appropriate settings in the present day. It's currently optimised for cat videos which is probably why your settings aren't working.

Then you haven't seen shit.
Isn't there a free implementation of that in Emacs?
Bio questions? Ask me to start a Q&A journal. Computer analogies available for most topics!

That comment was actually better the second time I read it.
Learn from the mistakes of others. There isn't enough time to make them all yourself.
No-no-no. The only way to write databse-oriented web apps is surely PL/SQL!
