Alas, the Java hate. MALLET, Mahout and Lingpipe are written in Java too and don't suffer from it.

- lrm242 16y agoJava hate? I never said all Java programs were bloatware, only that WEKA was and that was a distinct difference between Waffles, which is what the OP asked.
- woodson 16y agoI found the phrase 'Java bloatware' to be indicative of a certain sentiment towards the language (or JVM environment) in general (as compared to just 'bloatware'). And, given common use cases for machine learning toolkits, the overhead incurred by the JVM doesn't warrant (IMHO) ruling out Java-based options. I must have misread your comment, thanks for clarifying! I'll have a look at the underlying C++ classes API (http://waffles.sourceforge.net/apidoc/html/index.html http://waffles.sourceforge.net/apidoc/html/index.html).
