Hello everybody.
I recently had an argument with a friend about how Java was not fast enough to do any serious software development with it. My argument was that many of my "clients" (you) still have some pretty old machines in use and any Java application more complicated than a random quote generator will crawl on that kind of hardware... He dared me to make a poll to find out and here it goes. Vote for whatever fits your hardware best and if you want list the exact setup in your reply. The goal behind this is to find out what audience I'm developing for and which programing language would be most sensible (i.e. would Java be too slow) Please no flamewars, this is just a poll. Java is a great language. So is C++. All is good... |
