Personally I like C++ more. For some reason I have never liked Java
(most probably due to the limitations they made to make it a more "secure"
programming language).
  On the other hand, compilable programming languages, like C++ or Java, are
a bit tedious to use for this kind of purpose. Every time you make a little
change you have to compile and run it.
  Making it with a powerful scripting language like Perl would get rid of
this. Of course Perl is often much more cryptic than C++ or Java (although
more versatile).

  I don't know if this could be an advantage. The file sizes would grow
wildly. Just imagine a landscape made of 100000 spheres...
