For the record, I have never, ever seen a java program load quickly, run
... most probably because you've never seen _just_ a java program load. What you see is a complete virtual machine load and _then_ the application.
Come newer versions of Java, that will be solved by loading one VM at boot and then java programs will start extremely fast.
even tolerably fast for anything beyond the most basic things, and I've never seen an open source implementation of Java work firsthand. I don't like the syntax, but that's a personal issue -- I'd love to be proven wrong on this.
If _Java_ was such a resource hungry and lousy language, it wouldn't be the largest environment in the world in smartcards and cellphones.
Disclaimer: I do "virtual machine/native environment" Java work in cellphones for a living.
