    I used to make high performance distributed computing server-systems for Investment banks.

    Since the advent of Just In Time compiling, Java isn’t slow if properly used.

    It can however be stupidly slow if you don’t know what you’re doing (so can something like Assembly: if you’re using a simple algorithm with a O(n) = n^2 execution time instead of something with O(n) = n*log(n) time, it’s going to be slow for anything but a quantum computer, which is, for example, most libraries with sorting algorithms use something more complex than the silly simple method of examining every value against every other value).
