On Learning a Language to make a Game
I would first think of C++ as I've browsed the Quake 2 source code and enjoyed the C++ goodness, knowing it is also used in a lot of commerical games, but is there anything against using Java to produce games? It tempts me because it Java seems to be the future C++; my visit to IBM showed most people working on software using Java there. I know there is a lot of resource management to be done with C++, although I'm sure this can be bypassed using a specific library set such as ClanLib, are there similar packages for Java (free (costless)).

I believe, for PC games, that Java isn't widely used because people would need the java virtual machine in their browser. However, there are ways to translate Java into an .exe, however that requires expensive software.
