What is faster- Java or C# (or good old C)? [closed]

Answer 1

I would go with C# (or Java) because your development time will probably be much faster than with C. If you end up needing extra speed then you can always rewrite a section in C and call it as a module.

Answer 2

Depends on what kind of application you are writing. Try The Computer Language Benchmarks Game
