platform choices

Hello,

My main activity here would be lurking, but i certainly like to make a contribution in the future. I've programmed in ASM on several platforms, C, C++, and nowadays do all of the work in Java.

Most java implementations suffer from non-deterministic timing issues, so i wonder, would there be any application for java as a platform in the (osmocom) radio protocols?

I've build a hearing loss simulator in java, which is a streaming audio pipeline, so java is not completely useless in applications with strict timing relations. I believe the latency couldn't exceed 50mS which is huge in TDM radio protocols, but in the upper layers with a lot of complex data shuffling it might be usefull? Any ideas?
