Re: One language vs. another on the Web...

i disagree. the major advantage java has over c++ is that it is platform 
independent. you can create a mutitude of Java applications and run them on 
Macs, Linux, Win32 all the same because it is the JVM (Java Virtual Machine) 
that is written differently for each platform. basically, java is only 
compiled to a byte code level as opposed to assembly code if i recall, and 
it is the JVM that completes this last process.

it's in my belief that all C based, BASIC and the like applications will be 
replaced with Java versions and all platforms will have a JVM installed. no 
more will we have to write 5-10 different versions of a program to account 
for the different Operating Systems.

i don't know about one being *better* or *easier* to develop than another, 
but i'm leaning toward Java. - Cyanide_7
