I think one reason for the movement toward Java and JVM style languages is
that hardware is getting cheaper and cheaper, and developers cost the same
or more. With a 'simpler to write' 'quicker to write' language like Java
(where you don't have to learn things like manual memory management) you
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 :) ?
In Ada, Modula-2, Modula-3, Oberon, Component Pascal, Pascal, Delphi,
Bartok just as possible examples?
There were programming languages before C and C++ existed, and surely
there will be other systems programming languages. D might be such sucessor.
