Remember how we always used to hear "Why are Delphi binaries so big compared
to VB?"
I just saw a posting in a C# newsgroup that amused me:
"People, why are C# generated binaries so much bigger than Java ones?"
It would seem that you just can not please everyone :-)

bytecode, but no binary. One could say the same goes for .NET in a way,

contains the bytecode) some Java people just then refer to a .class file
in "Java jargon" as "a binary".
When someone talks to me about Java binaries, I take it simply as the
plural of binary, which means nothing more than 2 or more .class or .jar
(binary formated) files. Not "binaries" such as a compilied program (such
as the "java binaries"). Same word, but different context (jargon versus
technical) and meaning. Jargon is cultural, no use in correcting people..
