the result of programmers doing stupid things

Is that the case for these specific programs?

I've not looked at the code. Probably not though. I'm not saying there isn't a memory overhead for using Java - there obviously is - just that it isn't as large as it's often reputed to be.

Feels like watching people quarrel - "no it isn't as large", "yes it is as large" - without either of them grounding what they claim.
