Hello there,

congratulations on achieving that milestone!! I think I understand what this
means, although my project is still quite far away from where I want to be

In regard to Java, let me point out two things. First, I am writing OE in
C++. And second, under special circumstances Java is faster than C++
(because of garbage collection).

I think the flames have been extinguished now :-).

With the best wishes,

Marc.-
