I'm sorry, but actually my post was a reply to the 1st reply of this node, that talk about the compilation of Java and it's speed, but I have posted this in the wrong place, and I saw that only now!

And I agree with your point, Java is more about large scale systems.

Well, Java has his good points, and Perl too, we just need to know what is best for what, since everything has it's good and bad side.
