When was that benchmark preformed?

 

[GetTriggerUnit-]

I have no idea.

 

[Lyerae]

Exactly. That could be from 2005 for all we know.
Don't trust benchmarks unless they're recent.

I doubt Java has slowed down. It pretty near of C/C++ and is Cross-Platform.

You can always transform your Java code in an .exe/.app

I don't doubt it's slow down either.
But I also know everything else has gotten faster.

 

[GetTriggerUnit-]

My point is. Java is almost as fast as C/C++. I doubt C/C++ has been improoved by alot.

 

[Lyerae]

I know.
I'm just saying: Don't trust that benchmark to be 100% accurate to current speeds.

I know Java is pretty fast. I also know C# and Python to be pretty fast too.

"slow and laggy"
How can a language be laggy?

EDIT:
For mac applications, I recommend golang. Golang is cross-compiled. You can cross compile for linux, too. I doubt you could work with windows, though.

Make an interpreted language, and you'll find out.

I don't intend making an interpreted language, thank you.
But lag describes the time between signal send and signal recieve, not the time signal processing requires. And that time should purely be dependant on the connection, not on the language that processes the signals oO.

 

[GetTriggerUnit-]

Thats not really lag, More like delay.

 

[Lyerae]

That's what lag is...

He says that Macs come with a compiler, meaning that all Macs should be able to compile Objective C. Look it up

OFFTOPIC?:
That's right.

Clickety.
