Other than startup times, modern Java is not slow at all. In fact, it's way faster than many other popular languages today such as Python and Ruby.

- wanderer_ 5y agoThat's true. Python is no speed demon. However, languages like C are (for the most part) faster, and they need no emulation layer. I just think it's kinda strange to teach a language that is part-compiled-part-interpreted to kids as a first language. Maybe we should teach them both a compiled language and a language like Python to show them that each one has its place and specific uses.
