<p>Sending from my phone, so this will be (relatively) short.</p>
<p>I don't like using Java. I don't like systems and libraries that have it as a dependency, as a general rule. One exception is Android; I would have preferred that Android developed a method of using native code. A JIT is okay, and the fact that Dalvik plays by different rules than HotSpot is okay by me. But Apple got it right by using native code.</p>
<p>I haven't used Cassandra because it is written in Java. I don't mind managed runtimes for application prototyping, and even sometimes for Web applications themselves, but I like things to be native when performance matters, and databases are one of those things. For that reason, I prefer PostgreSQL for databases. End of story. (And to those who say that relations don't work for all apps, I say, "you probably haven't designed it right".)</p>
