I think you are mixing the issue of Java vs. C* with the issue of interpreters vs compiled languages. I heard a talk by the Sun Vice President of Technology (or some such) some years ago extolling the virtues of Java. He emphasized that he was talking about the _language_ not the bytecode interpreter. Sun felt (at the time) they got much better results with Java compiled to machine code that with C* compiled to machine code. Personally I don't care for any C*-style languages (including Java) or byte-code-intepretation of languages I _do_ like, but I think it is important that the discussion points separate the byte-code-engine issues from those of the language itself. -- Larry Kilgallen _______________________________________________ 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
