[DysLabs]

Which do you like better?

I personally like Java better because its easier for me.
But C++ is faster.
But Java is cross-platform.
Discuss.

C++ is cross-platform too. You just have to recompile it for each platform. Java, on the other hand, only runs on one platform: the Java platform. :O

1. C++ is cross-platform too. You just have to recompile it for each platform.

1. That's what I meant.
2. The Java platform can be installed for any platform though, thus Java is cross-platform.

These programs are mainly made for web applications, or video games. If I was to choose, I would probably pick Java. It creates better applications, games, little slowdown in loading, and you can do a lot of stuff in Java.

C++ was not meant for web applications.
You can't do it.
With Java you can.

But Java was not made specifically towards web applications, though it is possible.

But C++ is more efficient than Java mostly due to the memory management, so many more games have been made in C++ than in Java.

Like World of Warcraft, it was made from C++.

Back on topic.

C++ is way better for memory management.
