Looking for comparison JAVA VS C#

Question

Java

I found a large number of comparisons, but the characteristics that are important to me are not considered in them. In particular:
1) Efficiency and volumes of RAM usage
2) Sizes of binaries

Inf. about the application:
- desktop
- QT has been dropped for certain reasons.
- You need to make a choice JAVA or c # (.NET 2.0)

Tell me a review or share your experience.

Answer 1

> 1) Efficiency and usage of RAM
I don't even know what to say, for such platforms the question, IMHO, is meaningless. And it is almost impossible to characterize the "efficiency and volume of memory usage" separately. On Windows, I think .NET is better at this than Java.
> 2) The sizes of binarnikov
Without taking into account the environment? Comparable.
Plus, all the more so since this is a desktop application. My opinion: .net is a good choice if Windows is on. The rest I would write in Java. For example swt.

Answer 2

Choose what you know better, the question is a little not correct. Such a comparison is made only by holivarians and students when they write a diploma and justify the choice of development tools))) There are pluses and minuses, but for the most part not global, but subtleties.
In general, according to tests, java eats more memory, but this proves nothing, and performance is generally difficult to compare.
Just write quality code in any of these languages

Answer 4

This might be a little offtopic, but here's a video where two adepts from two competing platforms discuss the pros and cons of both platforms. If you have about an hour of time and a desire to get a fan, then you are welcome. Here is the link .

Answer 5

Size of the binaries?.. The
.NET 4 distribution is 50MB, and it installs damn slowly. Version 3.5 - 200Mb, installed, as far as I remember, by first installing 3.0, then sticking a bunch of patches on it.
Distribution Java Runtime Environment - 20Mb. At the same time, installation is, in fact, not required, you can simply run java.exe from a copy of an already deployed distribution. Portable mode, practically.

Answer 6

IMHO, if there is a question of cross-platform, then the choice is obvious.
