C++ or java

For my summer job I get to implement complex algo's in my language of choice(reasonable...ones of course.. =) ) I cant decide between C++ or java.

I rather do it in C++ for a number of reasons:
1) gain some experience programming in C++
2) C++ is "cooler"

but java has its good too:
1) I already have a IDE and installing java is easy
2) I dont want to spend too much time learning a new language
3) I don't have to look for compliers

It doesn't matter wether is linux or windows.

hmmm

wow, I posted. I wonder if anyone will notice

I guess I'll check the comments to find out :)

This post makes this blog "still alive". I'm not letting this blog die (just yet). The reason? I'm lazy, and its far more bothersome creating a new blog to replace one that has died then to make some random post (like this) to keep it alive.

Yay to lazyness.

On another note, I got a job. A code optimization research job at the university. It will definatly be challenging. I'll post more as soon as I know more.
