Well is it? Would C/C++ or something else be better? Do you think they might change down the road? It might make the computing network more efficient, and that would please their customers.

A C client would probably be better, but it won't happen.

The Ubero heads decided on Java because they can write one app and run it on many platforms (although it does mean we can't run it in OS9)
That and the ubero programmer knows java really well.

If there were a C/C++ version, how much faster would it be?
