wrong forum to ask this in bud, try off topic.

FWIW, I think that they are both a lot of fun to write in, I like that eclipse can make suggestions for improvement but that is more of an IDE gui thing and less specific to the language.

The question is more, what do you want to do with them? I'd rate C++ as more powerful/abstract/fast, and a bit harder to learn + code well in than java, but whether or not this is an advantage depends on what you want to do. They are both very widely used, I think java is slightly more common, but I'd guess that the vast majority of software is written in one of the two.

Read the OP, he's not talking about Java, but Java Scripting.

Bots are becoming quite good, this none could probably pass the Turing test.

Stephen Hawking is right when he says the biggest threat to human race is the AI.

Yeah, it's quite obviously a bot (single post, out of topic question), but I cannot help but wonder what benefit does it get from this spam. Will it edit its message later to insert cheap kìtchen & blue pills links? Or is the bot too dumb to notice this forum disallow signature?

By that standard respondents #1 and #2 are also bots.

less obvious benefits imo:
-demonstration to potential customers
-test which sites are "spam friendly" (does it work, how long it takes to get deleted, see if people reply ec)
-mix advertisment with seemingly legit text, to confuse word-statistics-based filters
