- Hi everyone,
-
- I am hearing a lot these days about JAVA. Can anyone with some knowledge of
- JAVA tell me what are the main advantages and disadvantages of JAVA over
- C++. I have heard people say that JAVA is a better language than C++, at
- least in some aspects, and that JAVA is the future language of the
- operating systems, or even that it is going to replace C++.
- I know that it is seriously being used, in some form, for web browsers.
- As JAVA is an interpretive languange, I do not think it can compete with
- C or C++ in terms of speed.
-
- I appreciate any comments on these.
