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.

Here is the comparison between the client JDK and freepascal:

Am I missing something or is it still a big defeat for Java?
The lines of code advantage can't impress me as well, i.e. if you have code like:
if (x==res) { y++; if (acc<256) acc <<= (8-res%8); }
... I would say that costs time due to bad maintainability and time is money as you said...

That's the 1.4 version of Java, there were many performance improvements in 1.5 and many more comming in 1.6. Also observe that Java consistently beat FreePascal in terms of Lines of Code, which doesn't really matter for small apps but for big apps well time is money
. So no I wouldn't say the overal picture for Java is extremely bad. Oh and there is no true way to put a definitive numerical value on the ability to simply run an application irrespective of the underlying hardware or OS. It's also very hard to place a value on the scope of the Java libraries. Oh and not to mention the ever increasing number of Java graduates.
Oh and also the client JDK is consistently better than the server JDK : http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/debian/benchmark.php?test=all&lan...
