summary

Claim: Java reproduces C code one-to-one and can replace it for real projects. Proof: a 300,000-line game written in assembly/C becomes a working pure Java port in one person-month, with assets loaded eagerly and many C memory tricks discarded. Pointer arithmetic, bitfields, unsigned wraparound and comma-operator idioms get handled by arrays and explicit offsets, serialization and standard containers, not native pointers. Runtime is comparable when algorithms are equal, so performance follows algorithmic design not language choice.
