Who uses Java here?

Just wondering who here uses Java and whether or not they wish more program posted here on OTLand were written in the language. I know I do.

Feel free to post your thoughts on whether you think Java is fast enough to handle a real-time server

What is Java? Kappa

In my opinion Java is ok to handle a real-time server but I have no idea if you can embed Lua in Java, google tells me that you can but I'm not sure.

I would rather just do away with lua all together and just use java

But Lua give us the ability to change the whole game without re-compiling. How can you do that with java?
Using java as a scripting language.

Well you would only need to compile the java files that are being as a scripting language. Java's compiling is so much simpler then c++ too... you just type javac filename.java, or javac *.java to compile them all, or you just use an IDE and hit compile. This is probably pretty bias tho since I don't know c++ well and I know Java well

But it would be annoying to compile the whole server just because you forgot to change a variable in, for example, the equivalent of config.lua.
But I'm not discouraging you, I'm just mentioning things that should be mentioned.
It should be fun to give it a try.

You would only have to compile the config.java file. Java doesn't care if all the files were compiled together or not.
