On the other hand, lack of synchronization is not such a big problem in the C world.
Well no, if you are not using threads. But if you are, you're into much more trouble than Java which has synchronization elegantly built in the language.
I have no complaint about the speed of a Java application once it is up and running. The only problem I have is that the runtime takes so long to heave its vast bulk into memory and fiddle with stuff before the app. gets control.
Will not be a problem for long. Just wait until we trade our hard drives for 500GB non-volatile RAM. Everything will start up in zero time and we will all run Prevayler. As early as in 2004.
What was so bad about Microsoft Bob? I thought it was great actually. I also liked Clippy.
...the joke gets tired of YOU!

It's the startup time.

Thank you for exploiting my country to oblivion during the past 80 years. Keep up the good work.
Good lord no, you can't JUST carpet-bomb a country. That would make you evil.
You have to carpet-bomb AND THEN rebuild the country you just bombed. See? Now that country's people can't be possibly mad at you, can't they?
