The Pet Shop Boys

Larry O'Brien writes, "In my experience, one of the two platforms displays a small performance advantage in the majority of programs, a performance advantage which I absolutely, positively believe to be irrelevant to the issue of business performance in an enterprise-level application."

What do you think of Larry's comments?

I think he has enough experience with both platforms to make such a statement, but the question is whether the statement is relevant. I don't really thinks so. As Larry himself mentions, for most applications it won't matter. There is a more important question to be asked regarding this matter: do you choose for one proprietary platform that supports many languages, or one language that supports many platforms?

The answer to this question will have a deeper impact on our futures the questions about minimal differences between platforms.
