[ale] Corel/Sun/JAVA observation

[Denny Chambers]

Well said! All of our Java programers use nothing more than vi, vim, emacs,
etc. to write our code and we are quite pleased with the speed and
performance. What performance point we lose against compiled code such as
c/c++ we make up for in portability. We run our code on Windows, HP-UX,
Solaris Sparc, Solaris Intel, Linux, ..... all without a single recompile.
