- I think JAVA became popular due to Internet's popularity. If it a
- language suited only for Internet programming, then it will become a
- Internet programming tool. Then It will not be that bad, because you
- can write the other stuff in C++. Of course, then you will not be able
- to move the code from one machine to another as easily as in JAVA and
- on demand (real time) without recompilation.
-
- If C++ could create "bytecodes", I would opt for C++. JAVA is cool,
- JAVA is fun, but it remains to see what happens. If I will see that
- JAVA is suited better for my needs than the other languages, then I
- will not hesitate to use JAVA.
