Which is why the option of coding computation modules in C++ is still probably a good idea. Like I said.. --- Kevin Sexton <sexton@QNET.COM> wrote:
Except that java tends to be somewhat slow, as it is an interpreted language, and while a java front end might work, if it is in the calculations, there could be a signifigant time penalty on deep zooms.

My spin on all of this is -
I look at all of the very good points that Florian made, and every single one of them can be addressed by creating a Java rewrite. For optimization purposes, Java can interface with a C++ module written to perform core computational code targeted to specific systems.
I'm still right in the middle of learning Java, but I would be so excited to be involved in such an endeavour.
