At least the problem with many old-school developers is that even though 
a new language is 10x more readable, 100x more flexible, 1000x safer and 
10000x faster to develop with, if it's 0.1% slower than C++, they have no 
reason to use it. Well, it shouldn't be a surprise given that JVM *is* a 
VM.
