Quod erat not demonstrandum at all.

There are massive amounts of libraries for C, Fortran and so on.
|
|
To pick an obvious example., if you want to do linear algebra, then
|
|
Java isn't a serious candidate at all.
|
|
|
|
Furthermore, plenty of bugs occur in the libraries too, at a lower
|
|
rate due to more users having been bitten by them, but they are much
|
|
harder for you to fix than in your own code.

|
|
Java to be "Write Once, Debug Everywhere" ?
