Choice between Java and native languages (for the backend at least) is obvious due to the performance concerns. Same with Python/Julia.

- t0mas88 5y agoFor Java that's mostly a myth. Modern Java isn't measurably slower than C++ in many cases and faster in some.
- xvilka 5y agoNevertheless, every time I run JetBrains IDEs it works much slower than QtCreator, for example, and eats way too much memory compared to the native equivalents. Hardly a myth if I can see it with my own eyes. Same with Ghidra vs Binary Ninja or IDA Pro. And so on.
- zigzag312 5y agoWhat about memory usage?
- pm90 5y agoThis might have been the case in the past, but the JVM is now good enough that you get very close to native (and sometimes better) performance with Java.
