Using too much memory? In java? How absurd!

Java doesn't use a lot of memory unless you're using a graphical interface, such as Swing. But console Java doesn't use much more memory than equivalent languages.

I forget -- is Java interpreted or JIT compiled?

[rabbit]

Interpreted :\

[iago]

Both.

Java actually uses less memory than equivalent web languages in the web server context (at least compared to CGI and ASP.NET, I can't compare to PHP since I haven't used it significantly).  One VM with many processes is significantly more efficient than a single process for every session.

At least in the context of web progreamming, I'd say that for ASP .NET you trade memory consumption for functionality. In my opinion, the tools you get to work with in ASP .NET are also far superior to any offering I've seen for Java.

Although, I'm not sure how accurate, or current that is. I seem to remember seeing one that ranked Python fairly high on the charts. Python is also at version 2.5, and not 2.1 anymore (lol). I seem to remember Python ranking faster than Java, and PHP being the slowest of the three.

ah, lame - it worked on the 8th, i swear! :p

[Chavo]

Worked then and still works for me.

Yeah, it's working for me again (wasn't earlier). What kind of loser runs a server that isn't on 24/7? :)
