[Java] and [C++] are similar languages both encouraging users to develop using the ObjectOriented approach to software development. [C++] is better suited to tailoring a program to the specifics of a particular environment whereas [Java] stresses portability and promotes approaches more suited to largescale application development.
Therefore [C++] is more and more being used for smaller applications targeting a specific environment where splitsecond timing and the amount of space used are critical. [Java] is used mostly for largescale applications which are able to run in many different environments and where extensibility and longterm maintainability are critical.

+!!! [C++] feastures:
+* [templates]
+* near compatibility with [C]
+* [multiple inheritance]
+* many features designed to have zero overhead if not used
+* manual memory management
+
+
+!!! [Java] feastures:
+* [single inheritance]
+* comprehensive and standardised networking, [GUI] and [database] libraries
+* language support for threading
+* language support for [unicode]
+* [garbage collection]
