I assumed that this was fairly common knowledge. I remember when it surpassed C++ in Febuary of 2000 (I thought at the time in development hours). Having been a Java programmer since 1997, this was a pretty big deal for me. I even remembered the month/year it happened (which made it easire for me to find this report). So here is the original report, a Bloor Research study from Febuary of 2000. It even has a cute little graph that plots the various languages-- http://www.bloor-research.com/research_library.php?pid=282 Now that I look back at it I see that this is when the *demand* for java skills surpassed that of C++ skills. It looks like it was just March of last year (http://www.sun.com/aboutsun/media/presskits/edge2003/factsheet.pdf) that that Java actually surpassed C++ in development hours. This was of course the eventual outcome of it's demand surpassing all other skills. The data from this Sun press release is from the Gartner Group BTW. Java is King, there are really no "if"s, "and"s or "butt"s about it. As to your performance issues, I don't have them so I can only sugest that you can examine your environement, your compiler options (are you using hotspot?) and your getters. All of my bottlenecks are in my DB calls. I have done performance analysis and never came up in my EL. As I sugested earlier, maybe you can run hprof and see where the bottleneck really is? Also, I considered myself a fairly hardcode C++ developer (having done it from '95 to 2002). If I am ever in a situation where my memory usage is critical, I'm almost certainly in C or C++. If performance is important, I consider C or C++. But IPC, threading, and networking is so phenominally better on Java not to mention the benefits of garbage collection and all of it's other features that I am hard pressed to leave it or go JNI. I did need JNI recently for some file system stuff that I wanted tweaked (traversing file systems with 100s of thousands of files).
