Re:C++ or Java, which is faster for high frequency trading? by mtogo on Saturday July 30, 2011 @02:00PM (#2826256)
If you have a typical Java programmer and typical C++ programmer, each with a few years experience writing a typical Object Oriented Program, and you give them the same amount of time, the Java programmer is likely to have a working program earlier

Citation seriously needed. That's more dependent on the programmers and environmental factors than it is the language.

Also, what is a "typical" object oriented program?

Java is faster to market so you can take advantages of changes in the market/requirements.

Again, really, you need something to back this up.

Overall a poorly written article that read as one giant "yay Java" opinion piece, poorly masked as a real study.
