Java's threads are fairly heavy. You can use
You can customize object serialization in Java, but not in a way that
makes it really fast...

some extra points in support of C++:
- Developer quality; It seems to take about 5 years to get good at
C++. There's plenty of carbon-copy Java/PHP/.NET programmers being
churned out but they'll need some time to mature into decent
developers, with a good portion choosing attrition into BAs etc

All fine and good several years from now, when mission-critical,
robust AGI programs will be running the world in Joint Stewardship
of Earth with us
-very hard to write code that writes code compared to LISP, Ruby etc
-very hard to safely run code i think. in java you have security things
to execute code in safe sandboxes, in C++ any array can just run outside
its bounds
-in LISP any ruby and the likes, you can just execute 1 line of code

I am curious as to how C++ helps scalability. What sorts of
scalability? Along what dimensions? There are ways
