And then you get upgrades and updates bloated with features again, and again, and again. And you get them a lot faster when the code is thrown together in Java, and they run slow even from the beginning, not just after version 29. > Do you use only applications coded in assembly language? I use applications compiled into machine language, when I can. I don't care what language a program is written in, as long as it runs fast. But the Java software I've used has invariably broken records for slowness, and I'm just not interested in waiting for it to execute.
