I try not to get dragged down into rat holes like the one you are going 
down.

Programming languages are tools.  I use the tool I feel is best for the 
job I'm tackling.  I use C/C++, Java, Perl, etc.  Whatever fits, I use it.

We had a piece of code written in Java that was giving us fits.   I 
finally gave up and "fired" that program.  I replaced it with an 
implementation in Perl.  I could have spent many more hours trying to 
fix the program but I determined it was better to just write a new 
implementation.  One day i had a new implementation complete in Perl.  
Went for a jog and decided it was too complex.  Rewrote in about 3 
hours, I'm done.    Languages are just tools for me.  In this case what 
bugged me about Java was the nio.   Perl allowed me to write the 
implementation using POSIX ideas.  Not portable to Win32 but we don't 
run that project in Windows. 

In our environment, Java is used primarily as the GUI to our system.  
Back ends are written in C and Perl and embedded devices are all C.   I 
like what we have going. 


BTW,  I'm in the need for a new programmer. 

Requirements.

Program in Java mostly and possibly some C.  Understanding of concepts 
such has
Network communications on a protocol level.  VoIP understanding of SIP, 
IAX2, Skinny, etc is a major plus!  Linux is a requirement.  All 
candidates must be a  US Citizen.   Email me off list and tell me about 
yourself and what you can do. 

Thanks,
Chris
