I decompiled Project Zomboid (written in Java) a while back, because I was curious about the performance issues I was having with the game. (Very laggy on my 10 year old laptop, while looking like The Sims 1.) I figured, best case scenario I find some easy bottlenecks and I can patch in a fix. Well, the whole thing was standard Java OOP, except they also had a bunch of functional programming stuff on top of that. I can relate to that -- I think they were university students when they started, and I definitely had an OOP and FP phase. But then they just... kept it, 10+ years later. So while it's true that you can write C in any language... those kind of folks don't tend to use Java in the first place ;) -- (Except Notch? Well, his code looks like C, not sure if it's actually fast! I really enjoyed his 4 kilobyte java games back in the day, I think he published the source for each one too.)

What is the ending of your story!? Did you find and fix some bottlenecks? | ||
