Oh man, you are so screwed - you're basically looking for something that doesn't really exist yet (the marriage of C++'s speed and Java's stability). Java represents stability, and C++ represents all the performance you'll ever manage to eke out of a computer. If you're up to it, there's the (still experimental) Digital Mars D programming language, which gives you much of the stability of Java without sacrificing the speed of C++. Unfortunately it's still a new language, so you may have to write your own bindings to other libraries, and there isn't a decent IDE for it, either, so you'll have to run the whole show by hand. But I use it a lot, and if you're willing to put in the (considerable) effort up front it will pay you back with significant interest later on down the line of your application's lifecycle. I'd HIGHLY suggest using Linux of another Unix variant, since they're much more stable in high-performance roles that Windows servers. I'm suggesting Java because it's going to be fast -enough- and it will be stable. Alternatively you could consider Python, which is an interpreted language similar to Java and has speed similar to Java. I'd still suggest Java, since Java has better development tools than Python does. As for a Linux distro, I'd suggest either Debian or Gentoo. Debian will get you lots of performance, but Gentoo will allow you to really get the extra mile (if it's really worth that to you). You might be able to use Gentoo and recompile your whole system with LLVM, which is a much faster optimizing compiler, which would gain still more performance increases (though it's stability hasn't been completely proven).
