When it comes to lower level programming C or even C++ is sometimes considered better than Java. When Java was designed, the main focus was on portability and security, which was lagging in the popular languages such as C, C++ etc. As in Java main emphasis is on portability and security, program can not directly access hardware or a peripheral device such as a scanner, digital camera, audio recorder, video capture, or virtually any hardware that requires direct memory space control. This obviously makes programming which requires these devices difficult in Java. However, it is not impossible to communicate and include programming for these devices in Java.
