Based on you questions and responses, I'd suggest you pick the one that you are the most familiar with. Mistakes can be made in any language, no matter how "safe" it is.
Regarding performance, I've seen professionally tuned Java out perform C. On the topic of ease of development, a lot of major libraries have Java and C++ libraries. All the major DB's have C++ bindings and JDBC drivers. XML, same. For GUI stuff, Qt can be used in either language. Java wins for portability, but not by much. If you write your C++ properly, it can be compiled without change on multiple platforms. Qt is a popular example of a cross-platform C++ library. Heck, even C has a truck load of cross-platform toolkits available. In my experience, the human factor is going to be the main decider in your results, so pick the one that you collectively have the most experience with. ~Ryan On Fri, Oct 10, 2008 at 6:36 PM, Ala'a Ibrahim <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > the most thing i do need is the STABILITY & HIGH PERFORMANCE..i don't know > which best supplies these two features..C++ or Java & which platform if > Linux distro,Unix is recommended but is it really the best?? > > On Sat, Oct 11, 2008 at 2:12 AM, Chris Miller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: >> >> >> On Oct 10, 2008, at 2:08 PM, Daniel Eggleston wrote: >> >> > Java will never be able to beat C++'s performance, but I've heard >> > it's generally easier to develop for.
