The man is talented and he can sure play the blues.
Met him back in early 80s at a night club I was working, awesome gentleman.

Who? Chuck Berry, Bruce Springsteen or Michael Fox?

Chuck Berry had originally wanted the lyrics to be a "colored boy named Johnny B. Goode", but the tenor of the times would not allow it, so it got turned into "country boy ...".

I always pictured it that way, even with country boy.
Iβve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I was at the concert for the rock hall when it opened in Cleveland in 1995. We had a membership to the rock hall before it opened so we got tickets that way, and also got to go to the hall on opening day.
It is an awesome place and anyone who is even remotely interested in the history of pop music should go there and see it!

I want to write a medium sized project for Windows and I am considering the following options:
A: Write it in JavaFX, which means I will end up with a standard Windows MSI installer that will install a native Windows exe.
B: Write it in Kotlin which means I will end up with a Java Jar file that will run under Java on my Windows rig.
I am not really interested in C# as I got bored with it.
The question is: Which option will perform best speed wise? Any ideas out there?
Ok, I have had my coffee, so you can all come out now!

I predict the C# version will perform best.

There's always assembler if you're really bored.

Sometimes I play the "Dutch"; or I play the "Germans"; or the Spanish ... when I play video games.
In terms of "what language shall I use today", it's just not a question that comes up.
One can be a "general" or a specialist.
"Before entering on an understanding, I have meditated for a long time, and have foreseen what might happen. It is not genius which reveals to me suddenly, secretly, what I have to say or to do in a circumstance unexpected by other people; it is reflection, it is meditation." - Napoleon I

You'll have to try both. Then let us know.

Unless it is a hugely compute bound application that runs for hours, the chances are you will not be able to tell.

Yes! You're right. I need to find a coin for the toss!

I would focus on future security patching.
If JavaFX is resulting in an exe, that means it is likely bundling a bunch of other components that will have new security vulnerabilities in a month or two.
Deploying a Kotlin jar seems like the OS will be patching the runtimes for you. So I would go with the jar.

Does it matter? Unless you're writing a game or video processing or something that is going to significantly benefit from optimized CPU usage, users are probably not going to notice. The bottleneck in most systems will be the human interaction, not CPU resources. Additionally, if you need access to databases or internet resources, or other "slow" resources, access to those resources will probably out weigh any differences in application execution performance.
So, if you have an itch you're trying to scratch, I think you've got 2 options that you should probably think about more than which is more performant:
1) go with what you know, get'er done, and move on to whatever's next
2) go with what you don't know, learn something new, have some fun.
Keep Calm and Carry On

Others have already done the funny and relevant answers.
On the boring side, then:
- what makes your app need (more) performance? CPU, GPU, disk IO which of the/any lot?
- if you anticipate need for tuning, use a language which has (decent interaction with) a profiler.
After all, optimizing software (in any language) usually gives better performance upgrades then the choice of language, extremes excluded.

I suppose one of the things I wonder about: I understand that a jar file runs under Java as an interpreted item, not as a native exe. That makes me wonder if the jar file is not going to be significantly slower?

To my knowledge jars are precompiled, not interpreted. Also, jars can run on any platform that runs Java which can be handy for easy distribution.
|
|

The last time I checked jar files are compiled into machine executables on the first run, so only the initial run will require the interpreter/compiler and the rest will run at full speed. The biggest question for performance is do your algorithm choices perform well on the hardware, both from a theoretical sense (bubble vs. quicksort) and from a hardware resource sense (huge arrays vs. small data structures).

I don't believe so.
First of course it would not do that to a jar file.
Classes are loaded from a jar file and then methods are run for that class.
Methods might be compiled if the VM deems it is worthwhile.
I suspect however that the 'compiled' version might have a different form than if one did the same method in C/C++ and created a binary image from it. For starters I would expect complications for accessing method variables, instance and class variables and method parameters.
As an example of that in C/C++ if one attempts to dereference a method variable that is null then the system will throw the exception. However in Java it is going to need to check that so it can throw the appropriate Java exception instead. So it cannot do it as directly as C/C++ code would.
