Sure, Moore solves that. Give him a bit moore (Heh) time, and he'll solve you writing it in frigging COBOL. That still doesn't make COBOL a "neat" language.

Ben notes, though:
But it is possible for a Java application to be useable and to have acceptable performance.
Yeah, sure, I suppose -- to shift your emphasis a little -- it is possible... But the ones I've seen, they don't actually live up to that possibility.

So for me, Java DOES, in point of actual on-the-ground FACT, suck.
