Well, first of all quite sorry if I am thinking the wrong way.

C/C++ softwares seems to be much faster than softwares written in Java. If
you look around more the software is written in languages towards C, more
fast it seems to be. Eg: Redis, written in ANSI C is ultra fast as compared
to other same kind of softwares.

This makes me thing that neo4j if would have been written in languages like
C/C++ it would have been much faster than current. I am not saying that
neo4j is slow in java, infact i don't have the enough experience with neo4j
to say it slow, i am just starting it out, but this point makes me think
that neo4j would be slow as compared to any other graph database written in
C/C++ ( if there is any ? )

please share your thoughts regarding the same.

Pranav,
I would say speed of C++ compared to Java is a very debatable issue,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_performance . There are also other
considerations like the speed of development, the potential of bugs,
and the size of the Java ecosystem and developer community to be taken
into consideration.

IMHO performance is not the biggest issue in Java, consider that a big
number of databases are written in Java also (Cassandra, HBase etc
etc) that perform very well.

I would say the biggest thing to keep an eye on is the Garbage
Collection in high performance applications. It is both a blessing for
normal applications, but a non-deterministic element under certain
circumstances that needs to be monitored and tweaked.

That said - I am not allowed to write any production-critical code on
Neo4j, so take my answer with a grain of salt :)

Cheers,
