I didn't ask you to verify anything. I asked you
how you would verify you have the money. It's a simple question. If you're offering a job, isn't it quite an important thing ?

You can of course write good GUI applications using C and MUI. But how many people do that these days?
I would guess about 100% of MorphOS programmers, because that is the only choice.
I'm happy for you to invest your money in Java. My observation, based on your posts, is that I don't think it will get you what you want.
A Java program won't run as fast as a native program for obvious reasons. You may have noticed we're not exactly overwhelmed with high power hardware at the moment; we've only got PPC Amigas, Pegasos and eventually EFIKA. Clock cycles aren't being wasted.
If you want more GUI programs maybe you should invest in a native implementation of GTK ? However, this is going off course, IIRC MorphOS team did say at one time words to the effect that "MorphOS without MUI was unthinkable". You could have a Java-MUI interface but then you've lost your whole cross platform advantage.
I guess Java would attract more people to develop for the platform, but they would not necessarily actually use Java.

Nothing wrong with Apache. Besides that it's not as popular as it used to be.
If you consider IIS gaining a few percentage more users over the last few years then perhaps Apache is less popular but I don't see anywhere near as many Java webservers.

It's all Java and .NET in Norway. If you want to live in the past that's fine. Many people don't.
Oh I see, you're putting 2 different topics in the same paragraph. Didn't I say I want Java ?
