C++ or Java To be or not to be??
Hi,
I have been playing around with Java and C++ for a little while (Visual Studio 6).
In general terms, if I wanted to write a simple dialog based win app, is there any benefit using c++ over Java (or visa versa).
I know its a bit vauge but i'm only really looking for thoughts / opinions on this.

java is much easier to program and just about as powerful as c++, some may disagree here, but it's also slower to run and requires the computer that's running the app to have a java runtime environment installed
Hy!
I think C++ is easier! Of course, the language sometimes is difficult, but the IDEs are better, I think!
Look at www.borland.com! Order a Demo-CD and you'll see, the C++Builder is very easy to use!!!
(and creates standalone exes, too)

I've got Visual C++ so I'll be using that.
But is there any noticable difference in speed in a small app.
Also am I right in thinking that the only java runtime they need already comes with win98 / nt / 2000??

cheers, I have been playing around and I find Java a hell of a lot easier.
