More on banking software: works from backoffice intranets / middleware (J2EE) to low latency trading (core J2SE). The plus I see, is not having to worry too much about errors (wrt C++). Makes working with large codebases / multiple collaborators easier. Great IDEs too. Still, coding in Java is quite boring (overdeclaration, lack of pointers/unchecked sections, ...).
