Also, Java as a whole favours the laziness of the programmer over the effectiveness (in CPU/RAM utilisation) of the end result. And I deeply resent wastefulness. I almost collapsed when, only last weekend, one of those "Java is best" computer science students I know proclaimed that he now needs 1GB of ram in his laptop and any CPU below 1Ghz ought to have been thrown away years ago anyway. > Marcel, if you are so Java opposed, how big a job would it be to port QPC > to the phone using C/C++ ? Well, if somebody paid me full time to professionally do that job I'd say 10000 to 20000 EUR might be enough...
