Java is not slow?
There is an article that debunks the rumor that Java is slow. This article suggests that the "myth" of C/C++ applications, as native binary, will always be faster than Java, is not true. To a certain extend I agree with the author - poorly written C/C++ app can perform much worse than a Java app. Now, Java is my favorite programming language, but as someone working in HPC, all I can say is that I'm not at all convinced.
