Minecraft alone shows your first two points are not valid. Write a hello world app in Java, the startup time is miliseconds, the memory is not humongous.

- kuschku 11y agoYes, recently, Java actually became usable for a lot of seemingly native apps. And it does this a lot better than the browser.
- teacup50 11y ago(non-casual) Games aren't generally known for fast load time, sharing resources on a multitasking system, or short playing sessions -- all of which plays to the JVM's strengths (or avoids its weaknesses). As far as fast load time; just launching my (JVM-based) build tool (sbt) takes 7 seconds on my laptop. Running 'Hello World' from an uncompressed class file takes 0.12s, and most software is quite a bit larger than a couple lines of bytecode in an single uncompressed class file. The C version, by comparison, completes in 0.005s.
