Hmm, I haven't delved into C++ too much but it seems to me that C++ is just object oriented C with a few compromises for C programmers just getting into OO. Automatic memory management/garbage collection is nice too. Java just seems a little more evolved if you ask me. Not to mention the zillion free packages Sun, IBM, and the rest of the Java bandwagon have put out. I think this one has been debated a million times though...
I think a more interesting question is, what advantages does C# have over Java? It's been a little while since I played around in Java (gonna have to dust those books off again...), but I don't recall there being an equivalent to C#'s built in get/set properties. Very handy beasts if you ask me. I just find C# a more comfortable language to work with overall, maybe it's just me though. MS definitely has taken advantage of the lessons learned from Java. jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeffry Houser" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 04, 2002 1:28 PM 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++?
