Before I give my actual reply, let me state that you should always use the tool for the job that gets the job done correctly and quickly. Now for the actual reply. Someone who has too much time on their hands already refuted this and the author on that page linked to them(!): http://www.freewebs.com/godaves/javabench_revisited/ Personally, I could care less. You should always use the tool for the job that gets the job done correctly and quickly. In other words, if Java is the right tool, use it. If C++ is the right tool, use it. If Python is the right tool, use that. If PHP is the right tool, use that. Every bit of source code can be tweaked to improve performance. To me, those tests were pointless. Ooh! Let's compare how fast I can do a heapsort - I mean, how many users of your software is actually going to care how fast your sorting algorithm is? They think in terms of buttons and GUI elements. This is the sort of thing I address in Safe C++ Design Principles (free e-book for c-prog members - see Links section). Stop thinking "which language is faster" and start thinking "which language allows me to get the job done while focusing on user needs". -- Thomas Hruska CubicleSoft President Ph: 517-803-4197 *NEW* MyTaskFocus 1.1 Get on task.
