- Hi.
-
- C++ is way more powerful than JAVA, in flexibilty and speed. JAVA
- tends to be rather rigid in a Pascal sort of way.
-
- JAVA's major strength is it's cross-platforming ability, which I think
- makes it the perfect tool for 'Net development.
-
- For everything else, though, I think C++ is by far superior.
- That's where it's impact will be. A lot of people (Delphi types)
- complain about C++ being complicated, hard to read, etc. But the fact
- of the matter is that user friendliness and power have a tendency to
- be mutually exclusive, especially where programming is concerned.
-
- C++ is alive, well, and growing.

- CheerZ,
