In JAI you own the code, the data, the build system, everything. JAI runs at compile time, so you can introspect your code and generate custom builds or generate custom files, or structures, like dictionaries of similarly named functions. JAI doesn't implement abstractions (like objects or a GC) that might get in your way. JAI supports gradual refactoring and you can change your mind about the way memory is layed out ("AOS" (structs of arrays), delegates), and still use the same code. Want to shoot yourself in the foot with uninitialized variables? Fine! In general, if you know what you are doing, JAI will allow it. JAI is similar to C in spirit, but C is a rather poor implementation in comparison.
