   what's the best language for a server app
  I've written a server app. in java for my multiplayer games, and was wondering if that's a good way to goWhat language is best for a server app?   
  The one you are most familiar with. Java is fine as long as you have a decent JVM to run it on.   ;  The best language for *your* server app is the same language as the client app. This will allow you to reuse code between them, which is more-or-less essential.Certainly your message packing / unpacking is likely to be pretty much the same on the client / server, as will many other things (types used for transferring structures etc).Mark
