Many people claim Java gives better performance. I would like to know from some experienced programmers how it had been a few years ago. Was Java always this well performing?
Seems like Java community did quite a lot to get Java to perform better. How likely is it for a language like Python or Ruby to do something like that? I understand that these are vastly different technologies and we simply can't compare implementing a JVM feature in say a Python interpreter, but any commentary would be appreciated.
