- mjevans 9y agoYou're forgetting Java.
- lwansbrough 9y agoJava isn’t required for the JVM of course. Scala is pretty great. I’ll throw my hat in the ring for C# on .NET Core. Just need the dotnet binary to init, build, install, restore, run. It’s like if node included npm in the same binary.
- Erlich_Bachman 9y agoBut nowadays it's pretty much installed everywhere? If not installed yet - it's a really easy and quite unobtrusive to install, one-liners in many OSes. So in the strict practical sense, is that such a big difference? What, extra 300MB for storing JVM? Who cares with 2TB commodity harddrives? (unless you're embedded, but then you wouldn't use Java or Go usually).
