yep agreed on that - i'm writing some linear algebra applications in
java at
the moment and they dont exactly rocket along. im only using java
because
it has a arbitrary precision arithmetic feature which few other
languages
have built in.

The lcc-win32 compiler features 350 bits floats with approx 100 digits
precision "built-in". You use them as normal types like double.

The system has 128 bit integers, and bignums, albeit the bignums support
is less transparent than the other types.

thanks for that, but what i am writing are web applications and that
unfortunately leaves me with little choice as to what language to use.
basically a toss up between php and java - ive tried both and java is
faster. i know there are other possible languages for web app. development
but only php and java have AP as far as i know
