Lawrence,
I'd have to disagree with you here. Your wide brush remarks about a computer
language that dominates the server-programming world and serves as the
language of choice in most university computer science departments, tend to
miss the point.
Do you really think that Schwab wouldn't be able to afford a C++ compiler
and would go for Java just because it's free?
Note, also, how Microsoft is desperately trying to keep Java off its turf,
so much so that they are coming out with a Java look-alike called C# which
will be a language with about the same features (give or take some enums
and, perhaps, operator overloading), but restricted to the Microsoft world,
of course.
I don't intend to revive the trader-girl wars of last year, but I am with M.
Simms here. Just download Borland's JBuilder4 (Foundation edition is free),
which is itself entirely written in Java, and you will be amazed to see how
well this extremely complex application works.
Regards,
Michael Suesserott

Java is free :)
You do not need a sun computer to run java.
The decisions to use java in many companies
is not because it is superior (it is a crapy
langugae at best) - it is because it is free.
So the spread may not be good, we need another
candidate for the long leg :)
