I know we're straying off topic here, but...
Java is more about the managability of large scale application development than speed. I don't think even Java biggots would argue with that.
You'd be really surprised how often I've heard relentless java-bigots say that it was several (three or four, ususally) orders of magnitude faster than perl at the same thing. No joke.
My only point is: never underestimate the power of people's pre-conceptions. Of course... I guess that's what I get for hanging out in the wrong places.

I'm sorry, but actually my post was a reply to the 1st reply of this node, that talk about the compilation of Java and it's speed, but I have posted this in the wrong place, and I saw that only now!
And I agree with your point, Java is more about large scale systems.
Well, Java has his good points, and Perl too, we just need to know what is best for what, since everything has it's good and bad side.
