So I have recently been learning java and everywhere I go I hear that java is a slow language compared to C or c++. I know that when it came out in the 90's that it was a lot slower, but I was wondering how much slower is it today. Also when writing java programs do you ever really run into issues with how slow it is?

Jump to PostWell performance is hardly an issue for most applications(as its unnoticeable). Java is being successfully used in several areas. I'm not a good/experienced Java programmer, but the reason people use languages like Java, C#, Python is the increased productivity.
You can search for benchmarks or make yourself and see. …
Jump to PostIt's a myth that Java is slow. The JRE is highly optimised and performs comparably to ordinary C++ code. Only in the most performance-critical CPU-intensive tasks will you see any real benefit from properly tuned C++
