The JVM's GC technology is unmatched, the Java interop is occasionally useful, and it's completely future-proof. I'm not sure that's true. Flash was once considered future-proof and you can see how that went. The future of Java is entirely up to Oracle at this point. I'll grant you that makes it a good bet, but it's not a guarantee. I'd bet on C (ECL) before I bet on Java. No one company could kill it even if they wanted to. rg
