Гринспан о Джаве

Про использование Джавы для постройки вебсайтов: Java is the SUV of programming tools.

A project done in Java will cost 5 times as much, take twice as long, and be harder to maintain than a project done in a scripting language such as PHP or Perl. But the programmers and managers using Java will feel good about themselves because they are using a tool that, in theory, has a lot of power for handling problems of tremendous complexity. Just like the suburbanite who drives his SUV to the 7-11 on a paved road but feels good because in theory he could climb a 45-degree dirt slope.

Насчёт скорости JIT-компиляторов

[gdy.livejournal.com]

We even have different styles of JITs. For the compact framework, we have the EconoJIT, as we call it, which is a very simple JIT [Editor's Note: .NET Compact is a subset of the .NET framework designed to be ported to other devices and platforms.]. For the desktop version we have a more full-fledged JIT, and we even have JITs that use the same back end as our C++ compiler. However, those take longer so you would only use them at install time.
