-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 I agree with the poster who said the overall environment (developer skills, tools, library code, etc) may favor one over the other in a particular situation. And that can be a significant overriding factor. It is difficult to chose an alternate language if the environment is already in place for one particular language.
On the performance issue, I think the many years of Java development has clearly given it an edge, at least for now. But you should consider how much Mono has improved in the past 3 years against how much Java has improved in the past 3 years. Mono's rate of improvement is much higher and if you extend that into the future, it's easy to see that Mono's runtime performance may overtake Java in a couple years. Performance is an important metric, but not the only important metric.
