[QUOTE=Numenor King]Java was good but a pain when you had to get anything remotely large done, It just seems to take alot more code to do anything in Java. I think it has something to do with that whole security thing.[/QUOTE]
If it takes you more code to do something in Java than it does in C, you're either doing something vastly wrong, or you need to find whatever it is you need in the Java API, because I assure you it's there. For example, I wrote a program to parse the source of a specific radio station's website and dump the names and artists of all the songs they play into a file. It took me roughly 100-150 lines in Java. All because Java's API contains high-level tools for grabbing the source code of a website, and hell, writing to a file takes like, 3 lines of code.
