The question that is often posed in one rhetorical flourish or another is this: Which is better (faster, more efficient, blah blah blah...) Java or C++? The question that is really not being asked is: for what? Selecting a programming language is not like selecting a dinner suit; you are not going to be asking the question that frequently. In fact, this question is more like deciding on a business plan rather than simply selecting a tool from the tool box. The reality is that the only people that would really ask this question are those that:
- Are just at the beginning of planning a software effort that will become the basis of a business or business group that has yet to be established.
- Have a full grasp of and can support apps made with either language
- Are writers of articles or blogs
- Have a burning desire to vindicate their own personal preference.
