'The problem with C++ is its fallibility, says Lawrey: "If you're not a really good C++ developer, you can shoot yourself in the foot and bring an entire project down."'

'The only problem with low latency Java is that most experience(sic) Java programmers struggle with the new paradigm.'

So...badly written C++ isn't reliable, and well written, idiomatic Java isn't performant...so the solution proposed is, rather than make sure you write your code well in C++, to instead write your code well AND non-idiomatically in Java? Seems an...interesting take.
