I have no problem to be written in Java, Smalltalk, Lisp, Scheme, Pascal, asm,
whatever as long as it's fast. Java on the client is so slow even on faster 
machines...

Also I remember Visual Age for Smalltalk. That was fast even on a P100...
Too bad everybody is so gung-ho on java and forgets about smalltalk.
