> Java conceptually has a lot of drawbacks

In what sense is an articulated object a "conceptual drawback"? It is a richer object model and SMI and friends had the engineering chops to makes it highly performant.

What do you mean by "a richer object model". The drawbacks are principally that the programmer has less control over allocs and layout.

If you want an actual rich object model, why aren't you using CLOS instead? Java's objects costs you a lot of potential performance with few of the benefits.
