Here's one Java can't do (without significant help): Write a command-line (no GUI) app that prompts for a sensitive keyboard response and accepts that response without echoing the characters back to the screen (i.e. a password grabber). Sure, that example is contrived, but it represents Java's lowest-common-denominator approach which makes it inappropriate for certain uses. > Java is for big boys only, isn't it? I've heard that recent (even several years old, now) versions of Java VMs can "match" the speed of compiled C++ for many non-trivial uses. But, can the Java compiler use its generics features statically calculate factorials? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_metaprogramming#Compile-time_class_generation - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkrrDKEACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PDOCQCfdHvrArHCcZBt+BoEQ5MvP170 +oQAnR5IvrZ7A0d3YujZNEd6jok/Rjt7 =J1w3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
