Java is an extremely solid fast language. You mean "the JVM is an extremely solid fast runtime" - languages by themselves aren't fast or slow ;-)

- axod 17y agoRight - Java as a word is heavily overloaded ;). For me, that's the bit that matters - the JVM. Java is just something I use because it's easier than writing bytecode :/ Java as a language, the syntax, is for me sane. It gets a lot of things right, and some things wrong, but on balance, it's sane enough to use. Just like English as a language is sane enough to use, whilst having lots of stupid inconsistencies in spelling/pronunciation etc. And it's likely to be the fastest/most optimized of any JVM target language.
