I was very interested in this until I saw the amount of java involved.

I think there are better metrics to judge an application on than the language it is written in.

There are worse, too. Java has such administrative and resource overhead that this aspect brings my interest down quite a few notches.

Cannot agree more on this. Whenever I see a project with Java, all of sudden all the overhead comes to my mind.

I say this because I would never like to trust java with dealing with large amounts of memory.

You just have to look at the JVM funny and it will swallow half a gig of RAM.
