The problem of Java written JVM/JIT isn't one of performance. You can theoretically achieve the same performance (although I'm not 100% convinced, I'm partially there) especially if you're willing to "extend" Java for the purpose of writing Java.

That being said...doing so in a portable and platform independent way is actually HARDER in Java than in C (and by C I mean C/C++/Objective-C...whatever). Read the Sable paper... you'll see what I mean :-)

I think everyone shall read this first http:// jikesrvm.sourceforge.net/info/overview.shtml . If performance will not be a problem then the product based on Jikes can be an alternative to Sun`s JVM.


Can we put the performance question to rest once and for all?

Personally Java is the language I feel myself most confortable and I think most of the people here feels the same. This is also an advantage which will shorten the development time if Java language is used.

We've been talking about two threads of discussion, one working with a C/C++ based VM, one w/ Java.

Here's a Java one for discussion (just want to focus threads...)
