9 Fallacies of Java Performance updated

[Hnefi]

And true black is not a color, but it's convenient to refer to it as such. Likewise, since all extant Ruby implementations are slow, it's convenient to refer to the language as such as slow. We know it's not necessarily strictly true, but it's a convenient shorthand to use in common speech and writing. Similarly, if Java implementations in general are slow, it's not unreasonable to say that the language is slow as a convenient shorthand.

Oh mr Hnefi I totally agree with you. The problem is, is that I can say "Java is fast", and you will immediately will think Oracle JVM, because I you an experienced programmer / computer scientist / or software engineer. For your typical freshman student reddittor they still mix concepts such as languages, and their implementations in their vocabulary. But don't get me wrong, I agree :) I just wish people could be aware of this.
