I would pick C++ for a number of reasons. C++ tends to<br>
perform at least as well as C and sometimes better and it<br>
usually defeats Java -- <a moz-do-not-send="true"

is somewhat<br>
rigid when it comes to the development process. </div>

They are both statically typed languages, with all of the

I am inclined to agree with Rob, just started taking Java in college
and find it to have very restrictive patterns. Mind you most of my
experience is in Python and C. Every time I begin coding in Java it
reinforces my preference for Python. YMMV<br>

Not sure I'd say c++ is friendlier. <br>

Please clarify small creative upstarts. In terms of individual,
smaller projects I find Python very effective and if you need to run
on a Java vm there is always Jython. IMHO C++ is no friendlier than
C and is often more complex.<br>
