Hi,

Real Basic, Visual Basic, they are pretty weak languages... use Java, i am studying that at uni and it sooo much more powerful than basic's eithe Java or C

Java is a fat slow pig and it generates bloated code and keeps the programmer blissfully ignorant of the true power of the hardware or the operating system. If you want to do pretty stuff with graphics and other non-powerhouse or speed-efficient stuff, then sure, Java is your man.

If you want tight fast and efficient code, then forget Java. Go for C in this case. If you want the ultimate in performance, tight code and power, then go for Assembler. If you want to write efficient code for device drivers or real-time interrupt driven executives then you use C or Assembler.

Java is the fully automatic, all-wheel drive, ABS, active suspension, 4cylinder peoplemover of the programming world. Yes, it will get you around in comfort without taxing your skills and if something goes wrong there's a lot of automation and other nicities to keep you sweet and safe.

It will do most of what you want in its leisurely and secure method, but don't kid yourself that Java is going to be able to successfully lock horns with some tight C or Assembler code for sheer performance and power.

As far as VB goes. It's on par for Java for girlyness, but I would think that complied VB code would be faster and tighter than an equivalent Java code. Hmmm.... I might have to check that out and do a few small programs to see what the executable size is.
