RE: Java performance on the i ? Good? bad? OK?

["Chris Bipes" <chris.bipes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Any generic Virtual Machine that is ported to all possible OS' sucks.
JAVA is a brown liquid that is meant to be consumed, Not to consume all
of your computer resources.

As a employee of a privately owned company, I would not program in JAVA
for any of our systems.  I try to stay away from 3rd party applications
that are written generically.  Native is always better than VM.

Now if IBM integrates JAVA into the MI layer, that would be a whole new
ball game.

The proper response is:  "Java, in general, sucks.  Here's a spatula!"
