+Please André don't break the thread once again. Use the reply command of 
+your mailer to reply to messages ar change your mailer, but it become 
+awkward to see you breaking threads, while you have already been warned 
+about this. BTW, I answer back on the original thread (at least I try)No 
+offense (I am not an englidh native speaker).
+
+Slowness of Java is a myth now a day. I currently work in a big french 
+company who build an embedded time critical system (missile trajectory 
+detection and self defense response. Yes it is about weapons.). 
+Everything runs on GNU/linux in Java.
+
+Java is definitively not slow to make interactive programs. About the 
+dependency several points :
+- Java is now free and open source, so the dependency is relative
+- low level libraries can still be done in C/C++ with well crafted 
+bindings to high level languages
+- there are other candidates, D for instance or Vala for Gobject/Gnome 
+programming which have no dependencies on runtime if, for some reason 
+and some projects, runtime dependency is a concern.
