I wonder what you think about future of Java language. The language is great - no doubt about that. C++ and Java have a lot in common. But I see a serious problem with Java - performance. C/C++ is ported to all platforms possible and can outperform Java. I assume that's because Java compilers have to have extra abstraction layer to run on different platforms.
I am asking this questions, because Sun claimed that number of programmers using Java will surpass one for C++ somewhere in the new future. I think it's not gonna happen. What's your opinion?
