Online gambling--witch language is the best ?

[hoboy]

I want to start a personal project to make a online gambling application, that will run on linux/windows, witch language is the best for such application ?
I can only program well in java. any other language suggestion ?
As java is a slow language compare to c, c++, or maybe python ?
tks

If, when you say linux/windows, you mean you mean you want it to run on both, then Java is probably a good language to use.

These days, java isn't actually all that slow. It also has some nice toolsets for doing things online as well, so Java is probably a good choice for you.

Tks I was talking to a friend who mentioned how fast c++ is compare to java.

Java is a platform. You can use Python on it (Jython).

If you know Java, then that is what you would most likely want to use.

I don't know exactly what kind of "online gambling", but it sounds like a Java applet would be a good start.

Oh no...

C++ is nothing. C is much "faster". Oh, assembly is much faster than C. Binary, that is where it is at you know, everything else is slower.

Java should be fine for the job, it runs fast enough on today's machines.
And it's quite nicely cross-platform.

Assembly == Binary, they are both exactly the same thing.

Probably. C is just assembly you know (really). Python is written in C (the most common implementation, CPython).

The whole "slowness" comes from the abstraction. In the end, it is all binary.
