With Java version 6.0 and later, Java can compile itself (It can compile itself also with 5.0 and earlier if you distribute a Java compiler with your program). "Decision Trees"? Is that like developing software that plays chess and does look-ahead to decide which is the best move? I think that you'll be more productive with Java than with C or even C++. "Being close to the metal", is becoming less and less important as computers are so fast and cheap theses days. Java code can analyze itself using “reflection”.

In fact, at one university I'm aware of, the 4th year is writing a P machine using C to virtualize XP. Based upon input from your question, I would use java if all you have to do is a decision tree.
