i need to understand a basic question that has been in mind for a long time .
it goes like this , jva is a language made with embedded system in mind , system that would exist in real word and would interact with each other and the user , so why is that java is slow , al system software is written in c /c++ .
why is that , what is that makes a language fast , i mean even when you use JIT compiler , what is it that needs to be done to make it fast , i want to find a solution to the above ,the question has many dimensions to it , one can say why can’t we write on Operating system in Java too. maybe i am not aware of the above things , maybe i am wrong , but then again , please cearify the above. my email is satmeet@usa.net thanks .
