I think one reason for the movement toward Java and JVM style languages

can more easily train programmers, and they will be cheaper also. Then,
you can 'fix' any performance issues you have with better hardware, for
less than the cost of training/paying a C/C++ developer to re-develop
it.
It makes business sense.

Bingo. Give the man a cookie. Anyway, if there was no C/C++, in what
language would we build compilers :) ?
Exactly, compilers, and developers having to wait for compilers wastes
money and development time. Another win for D vs C/C++ :p
