just wanted to add something: java is quite successful in commercial applications. not because it's fast, but because you have an excellent ability for code reusage. you can compile java beans into both applets and servlets. people are ready to pay the loss of performance because development time is cut down drastically. development time and code maintenance are much more important than raw performance power nowadays - at least for commercial applications.
