Hi Corey, I disagree with you. Take a look at http://gcc.gnu.org/java/. With GCJ, the same technique to make c program fast can apply to java code. They use the same compiler to compile java code to native code as C.
JIT is another candidate to challenge your statement.

A well-written C program will outperform a well-written Java or C#/.NET program today, tomorrow, and for the forseeable future. This will only change if/when hardware becomes available to directly support CIL or java bytecode... the mythical Java Processor for example. > By that view, I think Sun/Microsoft do a good job. Sun has definitely done a damn fine job. Microsoft I'm reserving judgement on. -- Corey Murtagh The Electric Monk "Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- New Zealand Delphi Users group - Delphi List - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Website: http://www.delphi.org.nz To UnSub, send email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body of "unsubscribe delphi" Web Archive at: http://www.mail-archive.com/delphi%40delphi.org.nz/
