Question: Q1) When you first started learning C++, if you had option to choose either C++ or Java, and you had equal learning resources available for both, what would you choose? Q2) Do you think Java still has scope today in developing software like REAPER? Q3) Is it possible to develop REAPER with Java instead of C++?

    I would choose C++. Java has a lot of problems relating to realtime applications IMO, and the implementations of it raise more questions than they answer. I can't say whether it would be possible to implement REAPER in it (I guess BitWig uses it for some of their app?) but for me it would create more problems than it would solve.

    I think only the UI in Bitwig has a Java backend
