Discussion about Cakewalk X3 Producer native on Linux - Stea

[StudioDave]

... Java applications done right *can* run flawlessly on Linux.

You should see AVSynthesis in action. Full 30 fps (or 60 if you prefer) 3D OpenGL/JOGL animation coupled with realtime audio from Csound (csnd6.jar), all zipping along and held together in a Java-based GUI. The program's author has been working with Java UIs since the 90s, he knows what he's doing.

Best,

Java-programs aren't slow, they're just RAM-hungry. Some say that Sun invented Java just to sell more RAM.

That's not a big problem today, at least with 64 bits. But there's a rumour that the Java VM can't handle more than 2 GB of RAM. THAT would be a problem, I think.
