sorry -java .. better? what? why would anyone use java for anything? let me give an example: from a project a while(some years actually) ago i still have a license for a php-ide(zend). its in java. no chance in hell to get it working today.

meanwhile, stuff i did 2003 still runs on windows out of the box, even in wine/osx. so again: why use java for anything? https://twitter.com/abductee_org/status/711966430133026816 (try it https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=11247 )

oh and there is this: https://people.eecs.berkeley.edu/~wkahan/JAVAhurt.pdf so, double-again: why use java for anything?

Isn't java famous for backwards compatibility?
