Let's examine porting AOO to Java in more detail. Java can easily call C code with JNA and also easily call even C++ with BridJ (https://github.com/nativelibs4java/BridJ) (with its sister project JNAerator even generating Java code to compile/link yours against by examining C/C++ header files),

Re: [QUESTION] Getting to AOO for Java (AOO4J)?

Hi, I am pretty much a noob and have only started out contributing, but may I ask why moving to Java from C++ is being considered? This migration will take effort and time, and I was of the understanding that C++ code runs faster than Java. Thanks Jatin On 11/8/15, 8:48 PM,

Re: [QUESTION] Getting to AOO for Java (AOO4J)?

"C++ code runs faster than Java" is, to some extent, a hold-over from the early days of Java, when JVMs where pure Bytecode interpreters. These days, it gets compiled, and optimized, as it is running. The optimizer has more data than a C++ optimizer, because it can see what flows are being
