Re: [WEB400] Java performance

["Brad Stone" <brad@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bob,

My views are the same.  You'll hear every excuse in the book
on how to speed it up or why it is slow.  But, it's much
much better than it was 2 years ago.  And getting better.

As hardware catches up with Java, in possibly 2 or 3 years,
then I could see it being something to use in full scale
apps.  Or, if you have the money for a box that will run the
apps fairly speedy, then there you have it.  I just don't
see spending 100k or more just to be able to run Java.

By the time enough people learn the basics of Java and OO
and start looking into actually using it, hopefully hardware
will have caught up.
