1. Debug When the program do something nasty or unwanted thing then in C I could do a lot of thing to find what happened. For example I could make the program dropping a core and analyze it at home. This needed because the program used some places where I cannot go into. And there were bugs in program which is definitely a race condition what is hard to reproduce. So it's not enough to write the steps to reproduce the bug. And I'm not sure that I can get the complete state of the program (and just the program) so I can detect where is the problem, even when the problem is in the compiler. I think it's more harder in java language. 2. Speed Yes, it's maybe an outdated information but for example if there are a java plugin in my web browser (not javascript, java, for example the terminal plugin in some management page of AMD64 servers) or the ``famous'' Hungarian social web page iWIW, which was programmed in JAVA and was slow like Hell. And in this program there are some functions, which is in the corner of usage about speed. (Sometimes in the other side :( ), So any speed degradation is a PIA. _______________________________________________ Secure Coding mailing list (SC-L) SC-L@securecoding.org List information, subscriptions, etc - http://krvw.com/mailman/listinfo/sc-l List charter available at - http://www.securecoding.org/list/charter.php
