What are your arguments against Java?
If you are disregarding Java when you are looking for portable options, then you are IMHO limiting yourself quite a bit and could be missing out on a good solution to your problem.
- lazyjones 12y agoFor software like "strings"? Startup times and memory footprint/performance due to JIT compilation / the JVM, as well as the notorious complexity and bugginess of the runtime. Just consider the frequent updates and incompatibilities you'd get with it - for example, we had plenty of Java-based remote management GUIs which wouldn't run on newer Java runtime versions. Maybe with the (limiting) static compilation options available for Java it'd make more sense.
