The Java problem is not that JVM is itself slow, but that Java is so inconvenient to use, that people use tons of stacks of libraries to accomplish even simplest things (think dependency injection) that JVM becomes bloated by loading and calling all these libraries, and in effect is slow.
I've seen most ridiculous stacktraces only in Java.

- kunley 16y agoYeah microbenchmarks are cool to stare on when your farm of those jboss instances for another very important project is crawling. Very motivating. Wake up, this is reality.
