If you have a typical Java programmer and typical C++ programmer, each with a few years experience writing a typical Object Oriented Program, and you give them the same amount of time, the Java programmer is likely to have a working program earlier Citation seriously needed. That's more dependent on the programmers and environmental factors than it is the language. Also, what is a "typical" object oriented program? Java is faster to market so you can take advantages of changes in the market/requirements. Again, really, you need something to back this up. Overall a poorly written article that read as one giant "yay Java" opinion piece, poorly masked as a real study.
