Java doesn't scale? Really? A lot of work has been put into java since the beginning to make it fast. Jruby for example is faster than C Ruby. Java might not be adequate for web development (I never liked the initial model and by the time better frameworks came out I had given up) but there are many applications where it really shines.
- tx 19y agoJesus... "Java is faster than C" argument again. Inferiority complex aside, I did not mean scaling in a technical way. Java did not scale out as a general purpose programming language - it remained foreign and inadequate on all major platforms and, as a result, no software (in comparison to C family) has been done in it, with a notable exception of zoo-like server environments. Go into Debian packages repository and see for yourself. Or, for Windows users, into your C:\Program Files folder. I hope nobody will be stupid enough to start listing (one by one, literally) Java software projects, like Eclipse, Lucene, etc.
