Java and C++

fucking explain fluently why C++ is better than Java and Java will never be used for real games like Assasins creed Battlefield Diablo starcraft 2 fucking 0.001% of the awesome games c++ made.

But ye i need to explain to my friend that java is good and all but c++ is just better eod.

Java's GC is shit.  It's optimised for high typical performance.  Which means that on a regular basis it has to spend a fuckton of time reorganising the heap.  You can't have that in a game.

Scripting languages (with GC even) are used in games.  But Java is too big for that and has poor integration with C/C++.  Lua on the other hand is easy to integrate with C/C++.  And C# (unity) interoperates well with C/C++ libraries.  Not to mention stack allocation, and the ability to manually control the lifetime of objects.
