That was the reason why I wrote this short article. To share my 
own experience and to show people that it is a "real world" 
language that helps to solve real problems. Benchmarking and 
feature comparison alone will never convince people, because the 
first question is usually along the lines of "What can the 
language do for me? Is it easy? I don't want to spend much time 
learning a new language!" Then they ask if there are any useful 
libraries (C interfacing) and if it's portable. Nobody wants to 
write the code more than once. Part of Java's and later Android's 
success was exactly this.
