Jav isn't too slow for Daemons. Its arguably too slow for GUIs, but thats just because of the shitty AWT support in Linux. Java is often clocked to within 7-10% of compiled C. Pain in the ass to use? Just because you have to use a classpath? Any decent Java installation automates this anyway. Hate to start a language war, but I just hate anti-java bigots.
