>I've been in the industry over 20 years. I've seen plenty. It is easy to assume that the java and a JIT should be able to take advantage of all the extra information to make fast code. But in practice, when you add in all the frameworks and abstraction overhead, Java on the web is slower. I routinely hit stack traces well over 50 levels of depth. Benchmarks really don't take this into account.

But your original post said Java was slow. It's not. Don't conflate the language with bad frameworks written with it.
