Well, actually, having a Java interpreter would be a lot cleaner than writing all your s/w in C/C++. Programs like Gautam's are better written (and maintained!) in Java. That's why Java (or Perl, or some other high-level language) exists!

"lot cleaner"... "better written"... these are all emprirical statements. Java the language exists to be able to program for Java the platform. AFA choosing the Java platform is concerned, I'd rather prefer going through some pain on my part than have thousands of users pay the performance price. Nor do I want to pay the performance price myself, so my PC doesn't have a JVM.
