How does Java have a simpler language? The CLR has some JIT time optimizations as well as runtiem optimizations. Java and C# run at about the same speed really. It might not be true that Java is faster.
The article needs to be cleaned a bit... Some entries are listed as both advantages for one language and disadvantages for the other, which is at best redundant. Otherwise, it's not bad; quite complete now. GregorB 22:49, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
I think there is good reason for pointers to be listed as both an advantage and a disadvantage for C#. I don't think there exists enough consensus about whether pointers should be used in managed languages. It might be appropriate to go into more detail about how pointers are implemented with relative safety in C# on another page and then link it. Tbjablin 05:36, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
