I think an attempt should be made to implement all the algorithms
detailed in Ron Rivest's book "Algorithms" in Java, with the the same
time and space bounds. In particular, has any-one been able to
implement Red-Black Trees purely in Java?
The inability to implement these algorithms efficiently would indicate
that Java might not scale well to large scale systems development -
Operating Systems, Databases, Windowing systems.
The "Vector" class fails to meet this criterion, as periodically it must
reorganize its memory space.
