Faster than Python
Easier to avoid mistakes than C/C++
Easy to break into component parts that can be maintained separately
Don't have to worry about handling memory
Works the same on Windows, Linux, X86, ARM, etc. so your developers can be working on OS X and deploying on BSD for all you care
Static typing (remarkably important when you've got a team of 30 working on a large codebase)
- judk 12y agoTeam of 30? Team of 3000!
- islon 12y agoThe "it's impossible/unmaintainable to develop a huge/enterprise codebase in a dynamically typed language" meme is really sad here on HN, specially for some one who works/maintains a huge/enterprise codebase in a dynamically typed language with a big team and have no problems at all. Anyway I agree static typing was a big plus for java for the sole reason many people believe dynamic languages are just for scripts and small hacks.
