Although, because of its prominence, Java gets a lot of attention and with it much criticism (some of it valid), many don't realize that some big breakthroughs have arrived and that the Java development landscape is solving important problems. Also, Developer.com posted their "product of the year" awards for 2006. Java related products have the strongest showing with the largest number of awards.

Seriously, a language that is incompetent with memory usage is seriously limited in it usability. 37 MB is doable, but if the language is inneficient for a 37 MB application, it is also inefficient in situations where memory does matter. Imagine a computer game using 8 GB instead of 256 MB.
Well the overhead of the JVM + memory pools is always going to be fairly constant. The more memory you use the smaller the percentage of overhead of the JVM will be. Even if it was exagerated 8gb is a stupidly high figure and you have far bigger concerns in terms of performance elsewhere.
