Well, if you have a very fast processor and no need for speed or the
power, java can be pressed into a functional use...

However, when you already have the syntax of C++, why tie your hands
with java, a pseudo-language really... it steals C syntax to run
scripted and byte code...

Of course, if you don't understand the difference of a real
programming language which is compiled and linked--as opposed to java,
it is a moot point...

Good luck running that cobol on any modern application servers like
Websphere or Weblogic.



Yep...I think he programs on a AS400 if memory serves me...

ahhh yes, the good ol green screens. Our applications still run on the good
ol AS400, though that may change once we make the switch.
