    Java isn’t an interpreted language any more than C. Java gets compiled into its own machine code developed by Sun. That machine code can be converted to native code or just run “interpreted.” (which is more like emulation.)

    Maybe you should learn more about something before you criticize it.

      I can’t think to any program made in java that isn’t a memory hog.

      Look at the performance of Minecraft java vs native

      Or vuze that uses 20x the memory of qbittorrent for doing the same stuff but with less features

      So either java devs don’t know how to optimize code, or the language itself has some problems

        Of course there comes the Minecraft comparison. Which also conveniently ignores the fact that Minecraft can run incredibly fast using certain performance mods. It’s not Java, it’s just shitty programming / code that hogs its performance.
