Re: C++ vs. Java (speed considerations only)

Have you run into a CPU ceiling? If not, what's the point of switching?

I've used both and I must say that I've found Java to be a more pleasant experience for FRC. It was easier to get students involved and learning, I could run it on my mac without a problem, and the speed of development was just WAY faster (less boilerplate, Eclipse/NetBeans are fairly good at autocomplete, etc).
