Think of any programming language as just a tool. When building a
house for example, you first define a job (building the house) and
then you choose a set of tools to do this job. This set of tools may
be useless (fully or partially) for fixing your car, for example. The
same logic can be applied here.
When you need to build a server with garanteed fast response time,
that can handle a large amount of the connections you probably would
choose C++.
However, if you want to manage this server and need to build a nice
GUI in short time you will probably chose Java.
If you want to find a better job,for example, then you might want to
consider non-technical aspects, such as salary of Java programmer vs C+
+ programmer (or may be amount of job offers).
If you have an academic interest, C++ would be better choice (IMHO),
since it has a larger application domain and sup****ts some
interesting concepts (like generic programming)
