I know C is 'portable' but it still requires some major hacking to get
programs working on various OSes, and Java can be used/compiled almost
everywhere, although i think it requires a graphical display (right?)
and it is pretty slow and not a good choice for many intesive
applications.

Why isn't there a "Java" that is not interpreted? but could be easily
cross compiled for any machine?

Or is everyone hiding something from me? :)
