...Makes me want to do more OOP.

Man, I kind of miss that shit.

Did you mean Minko ?
What are you coding in btw?

I didnt get any sleep lastnight, but yeaj Minko

also the past two semesters have been nothing but C, and the only C++ project I did would have made Bjarne slap me in the face

I know im gonna get bashed for this but imo Cpp synthax is too pedantic, I like Java

Java/C# syntax is more fluid. I prefer it.

I however find beauty in all languages.

Ya, its a shame performance is such an issue with those languages :/

It's really not because it isn't 2003 anymore. The JVM/CLR are incredibly fast now and have been for some time.

That is something that has been parroted as being a flaw for Java since its inception. And, if said 10 years ago, I would agree. However, the language has evolved. Benchmarking shows Java and even C# to be as fast if not faster than C++ in most circumstances. This has to do with certain optimizations that can be applied to Java/C# during their JIT compilation which simply cannot be done with C++. The only clear cut win C++ has is when manipulating hardware. Having access to raw pointers are always going to beat out virtualization.

Still most java apps I've seen are always noticeably slower to start, and always seem more sluggish that their C/CPP counterparts, especially UI-wise. Don't tell me you can't instantly tell when a certain app is written in Java due to this
