If you want performance, then C/C++ or Assembly(!) is better. But, that takes a long time to code and debug.
In my opinion, for a good programmer, with good knowledge on libraries available and how to use them, C program is much easy(, faster, etc.) to develop(with power and performance) than Java.
Also assuming that in future we all will be using Linux :-), do we then need platform independent language?

I am not really sure of what you are saying.. because PC is JUST ONE platform. there are plenty of others.. and linux is written in C dosent mean everything else has to be, especially apps and apps should have the freedom of running on whatever they want. :-) I guess we should not merge OS and application programming.

Everybody using linux would be a Bad Thing. Just as bad as everybody using Windows. We need to have an even spread of users across systems. Different platforms have different pros and cons. No single platform can satisfy everyone's computing needs.

so, yes. C/C++ are platform independent languages. Java is not.
