Content: The Java platform also continues to evolve. Each new edition of Java provides new language features and new APIs that improve the productivity of developers—if not always the performance of their applications.

Best practice use of these language features can help differentiate between an application that sizzles and one that plodsalong.

And the evolution of the platform brings up interesting performance questions: there is no question that using JSON to exchange information between two programs is much simpler than coming up with a highly optimized proprietary protocol.

Saving time for developers is a big win—but making sure that productivity win comes with a performance win (or at least breaks even) is the real goal.
