Java vs. C++
I love java. it is a nice high level programming language and the way the VM works is both cool and great. But java is a slow language and I don't know about other teams but optimization was an issue for us this year. I see that the java library for FIRST uses a light weight JVM my question is does anybody know whether or not this will be close enough to as fast as C++ to make programming in java worth it?
