Depends on which language you are higher skilled at, how much CPU you can throw
at the issue and if small, efficient execs is a consideration at all.  OS and
environment might be factors too.

I'd go with C/C++ every time, but I find Java to be big, slow, requires 10x more
development hardware and I have a decade of C/C++ MT coding experience.

Your situation might be different.

When I think of thread-safe, I think of libraries and services, not end-user
programs. For libraries, C is the standard calling protocol accessible by almost
every other language. Java is limited in that respect, right?
