I decided against Java for my stuff, which was hard, since Java has great
networking and threading support out of the box.
But here's why I ended up going with plain old C (although I will probably
have some C++ eventually too, since many neat modules that I may use, like
the Texas Persistent Store (yes, the impedance mismatch with PostgreSQL is
getting annoying), are C++--but I can link them with my C modules and be
happy): Java is A) slow. This probably won't be a problem in a couple
years. B) it keeps changing. This is the most important, as far as I am
concerned. Until it settles down, I don't want to write any code for it,
knowing that I may have to change it in six months or a year.
There's also, for me, C) I know C much better than I know Java, but
obviously that shouldn't be a concern. I know Perl much better than I know
C, but A) applies there too. Although I'm really tempted to rewrite part
of the core in Perl 5.005-threaded and see how much slower it is.
