My 2 cents on gcj ...

Java is a great language regardless of the write once, run anywhere
ideal of the virtual machine. If Sun had put some work into a compiler
that produced native binaries as well as bytecode then they would have
probably made massive inroads into the popularity of C++ by now.
Consequently, I really hope that one day gcj and Classpath become
usable, then I can switch more of my coding energy from C to Java.
