  Java runs at 90% the speed of C for most common benchmarks. It uses 50x the RAM to do so. But you're dead wrong to think java is slow. The only reason physics game engines are written in C++ is because physics game engines are written in C++.

    >Java runs at 90% the speed of C for most common benchmarks. It's not 90%, more of several times slower: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/fastest/gpp-java.html https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/... >The only reason physics game engines are written in C++ is because physics game engines are written in C++. They are written in C++ because of latency requirements which are nearly impossible in GCed language.

      From what I know, the major C++ engines (Unity, Unreal) have GC in them. Using GC does not automatically mean that latency is out the window.

      Have you ever used any service from AWS? Then you were using Java.
