[ale] Thread safe coding, Java or C

[James Sumners]

If you're not, or the programmer doing the work is not, already a
competent Java developer, you shouldn't expect that to be the case. It
can take a long time just to get a Java project skeleton configured.
Then you have to be familiar with all of the libraries you'll need to
use.

Go with the language you _know_.

pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it
is magnetic to the corruptible. Such people have a tendency to become
drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted."
