Jax_Dragon Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 I vote java for a few reasons1)VB6 is not compatible with windows 72)Theres already a server for java3)There are enough C++ engines out there, we need to help spread the word about a new language.4).NET isn't multiplatform like Java or C++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homicidal Monkey Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 @Admiral:> Java> waits for HM to come in and list 101 reasons to switch to Java1: Java is MultiPlatform "You can find Java on almost any machine; from your Computer to Blu-Ray Disc players, to even your car." (Sun)2: Java supports metaprogramming. Metaprogramming is technically epic fast scripting because it changes precompiled objects and recompiles them.3: Java is easily multithreaded. Seriously, you just inherit the Thread Class.4: Java is completely backwards compatible so it will never go obsolete. You can pull out an old Java 1.0 app and it should still run.5: Java is free.6: Java is designed for the Web thus Web-based features such as networking should be fast enough7: Java engines exist and can hold several players. *cough Runescape*8: Java has math functions prestreamlined. Tests prove that Java is faster than VB at math.9: Java has the JOGL library. (Java OpenGL). Eclipse 3.0 has an optional OpenGL module. OpenGL is on every machine. Microsoft has its DirectX, which is great,. But DX10 forces you to have Vista/W7.10: Java compiles in individual classes linked with a virtual server. Technically you could just update by replacing classes.11: Java has most the hard stuff already done. Why reinvent the wheel with C/C++ when you already got a multiplatform language?12: Java is here to stay. 25% of all applications are written in Java. If Microsoft decided it was not going to support Java anymore, Im pretty sure that would be the cause of Microsoft's death.13: Java is now Open Source. (JRE6 Open Java)14: Mozilla's Rhino Script interpreter is 80,000x faster than Microsoft's vbscript.15: Its already started.16: Java self-documents itself with its easy-to-follow object-oriented layout.17: Java self-debugs by demanding explicit actions18: Java classes function quite similar to VB6 types. Transition is easy.-Insert reasons 19 to 100-C++ is probably the best alternative to Java, but Im pretty sure that Eclipse does not need all the power of C++ to function properly. Anyways, I don't have the time to transcode into C++; Im far more proficient in Java.@Zombie0hour:> No I love Visual Basic 6! It will live on in my work!> > Edit:> Abandonware? Does this mean I can finally start selling copys of Visual Basic 6 Enterprise? Im gonna be rich XD.no. Selling abandonware is illegal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Microsoft decided to not support Java anymore. I'm pretty sure that would be the cause of Sun's death.> 1: Java is MultiPlatform "You can find Java on almost any machine; from your Computer to Blu-Ray Disc players, to even your car." (Sun)Ironically I hardly ever find the word Java in any hardware references. Usually they have their own microlanguage or a controller available. If Java was really that great: ACPI would support it.Regards, Godlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenton Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Every free 2D MMORPG maker just like eclipse is programmed in VB6\. If Eclipse gets ported to C++ it would easily beat the rest and they would most likely die out.Can anyone even tell me why Java is better than C++??

Jax_Dragon Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 @Godlord:> Name me five with the same goals, functions and features as Eclipse.I can't name any with the same features as eclipse. But I wasn't comparing C++ to eclipse.I was just saying that having Eclipse in Java, and not another language, would not only draw new people interested in Java to Eclipse, but people interested in Eclipse will be shown Java.The largest crowd of people use C++, which is why we should ~~BE REBELS!!!~~ show them different options.@Lenton:> Every free 2D MMORPG maker just like eclipse is programmed in VB6\.
