Good things about Java: Datatypes have been defined fairly specifically, and should not vary between vendor implementations.
Pointers are (generally) hidden or taken care of by the language. Very, very solid set of objects and methods for you to use. No multiple interitance, but there are interfaces for you to use that address a lot of the reasons why multiple inheritance exist. Error handling is very solid and done well. Javadocs. Good (but not great) implementation of OO. Bad things about Java: Why the hell are there primitives when there are also objects that mirror the primitives as well? Sun's web site sucks for finding info about Java. Java on the client browser is dead. Think it's hard getting metrics about CF? Try getting non-BS performance stats for Java. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeffry Houser <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Monday, March 4, 2002 11:28 am Subject: Benefits of Java over C++ > With the next version of ColdFusion being a Java base instead of > a C / > C++ base, I'm asking the question... > > What are the benefits of Java over C++?
