 > Research appreciated, Thank you! Maybe things have changed since my
 horrible experiences with java sucking.

 I've been developing with Java full-time, as part of my career, for more
 than two decades. And while JVM performance wasn't all that impressive in
 the first few years - prior to Sun and the industry aggressively pursuing
 just-in-time compilation  - that hasn't been the case since the late
 1990s.

 Indeed, Java performance not only matches that of native C/C++ code, but
 can even exceed it in some cases. (It takes a brief period for the JVM/JIT
 to warmup, after a cold start. But once that's done, hold onto your hat!)

 And the truly elegant thing about this design, is that the code doesn't
 have to be recompiled: Since it's pcode - with native compilation,
 optimization, etc, all done at runtime - it improves with every new JVM
 version.

 The model works so well, that it's used extensively throughout the
 industry, for many many other languages and stacks. And indeed, Microsoft
 also went all-in on this paradigm, with C# and .NET as a whole.

 So while you may have been less-than-impressed 20 years ago, things have
 changed significantly since.
