    Make Java Faster

    The problem with java is that it is so slow. It is a great concept, a language that is portable to almost any OS. Is there any way to make it faster? I hate programming in JAVA because of it being so slow.

    Nope. I don't think there is anything you can do about the speed. That is part of the problem with Java. I think it would be more popular if it were faster.

    Wouldn't a better question be: "How can I make Java Work?"

    lol, If you have applications that use different Java versions it is impossible to get everything to work under one version, even if it is the latest version of Java.

    I've used Java applications before and they take awhile to get started, especially when I'm on my dial-up computer. Long load times make me angry.

    If you want, you can compile it to machine code using MinGW. Then you won't have the overhead of the Java Run Time Environment. Now, if you want it portable, the JRE is a necessary evil overhead cost.

    It was only slow during first time execution and during compilation.

    Unless you wish to convert it into non-portable machine code instead.

    if we are talking about java applets, they are slow. They have to be downloaded and then the JVM has to start up before the applet starts to run.

    But java isn't slow if you are using it as a back-end...sure, it still takes time for the JVM to start up, but once it does, it should be as fast as fast anything else. Plenty of companies use Java as a back end for doing business logic, web services, etc.
