One thing to consider is that it is ridiculously easy to decompile
java class files... you have to obfuscate them, and then
completely re-test. Usually complicated problems don't obfuscate well.
Even if you write server apps, the first person
you sell your server-app to can decompile it, significantly
change it, and then re-sell it; all from the initial sweat of
your mind. This isn't inherently bad... I've been a
believer for many years of "open source." But folks, there
are SOME THINGS that oughtta remain secret: say, an ATM safe
door open-close algorithm (think this is easy? try it! :-)
Maybe I'm Politically incorrect for this group, but I believe
java isn't the best solution for ALL applications.
If you're doing a "1-off" internet server app, with
back-office B2B infrastructure, go for it... Java's the best.
If you have to download, or "expose" business rules to users,
or possible competitors, WATCH OUT!!!!

I love java. but it will always be slower. Because it it is compiled
into the byte complier. then run in a virtual machine.

using this technology in a situation where load balancing is an issue.
