hippo you've caught me unprepared! ... so I can feel a future meditation brewing on this complex and interesting topic. :)
As indicated by the quote above, my performance assumption of the five listed (statically typed) languages (including Java) was based solely on the well-known general properties of static vs dynamic typing. When I programmed in Java years ago, I remember the HotSpot technology muddying the performance waters when attempting to compare Java to C++ because (at least in theory) Java HotSpot could perform gradual dynamic performance optimizations at run-time (based on HotSpot profiling and the specific hardware it was running on) which C++ could not (update: nowadays it can, thanks to Chris Lattner's LLVM and Clang). Despite that, I've always loved C++ and disliked Java, and would always back C++ against Java in any specific benchmark shootout. :) Extra References Added Later
