Its not like someone is going around citing this benchmark yelling rewrite everything in Julia / D. Imo this is a good starting point if you are doubtful or fall into the trap of Java is not fast. For most workloads we can clearly see, Java trades off the control of C++ for "about the same speed" and much much larger and well managed ecosystem. (Except for the other day, when someones OpenJDK PR was left hanging for a month which I am not sure why).

If you get the same speeds for C++ and Java, I'd like to point out that the C++ implementation is likely very sub-optimal.

This can obviously be true for toy problems, but tends not to generalize.
