I've just started looking at java and I have some questions.
1. I'm thinking about using Java to prototype a medium size application
(about 200k lines of source). Java's dynamic binding and simple syntax
is very inviting. I wonder if Java could be used for the actiual
application? I know that some languages are better suited to large
applications than others. Where does Java stand in this regard?
Is it intended to be used for large systems?
2. Java has threads. How does it handle inter-process communication?
Objective-C has something called proxies that (I think) pass objects
between processes. Will the language have direct support for this or
will this be done by a package or is it impossible?
3. Persistent objects. When? How?
4. Why doesn't Java allow operator overloading?
Thanks for any info.
