Generating a Java program with 90% less code

5 second boot time? Most Java programs I have worked on start up near-instantly.

Small programs can be written in java. It's a general purpose programming language. You could write grep in java.

Have you worked on any that make use of a framework that uses lots of reflection such as Spring?

I have avoided Spring as much as possible. Performance is one reason.

But I thought we were talking about Java:

"For example Java programs are comparatively slow to boot up."
