Which do you prefer, and why?
Java is cross-platform. After all, it was designed that way. It's a much smoother language than C++, because of garbage collection and a revised syntax.
C++ on the other hand, allows you to have much more control over not just your program, but lets you manage the memory that your program is using. As well as giving greater opportunity for making mistakes, the extra control allows you to do things that you will never be able to do in Java.
So… which do you prefer? Or do you use both regularly? Or is there another language you'd prefer to use? (Application Programming languages only, not web programming, please!)
And another question: Do you ever get to decide which language you are going to use? Or does it always depend on the project requirements?
