While most comments touch on the developer issue, the significant performance gain deserves more discussion. I guess Java's static type, pragmatic mutability with less garbage produced, and efficient parallelism give substantial boost to performance.
It would be interesting to see what the upcoming blogs have to say about the performance gain.
