llvm is not a vm. describing llvm as something that is replacing the jvm doesn't really make sense. mentioning javascript or webassembly is also a bit strange

llvm is not a vm. describing llvm as something that is replacing the jvm doesn't really make sense. mentioning javascript or webassembly is also a bit strange and would seem to demonstrate some kind of misunderstanding.

In 1995-2005, JVM was a serious competitor for the web, it's why JavaScript was named JavaScript.

  javascript is named javascript for marketing purposes. your example is an almost stereotypical misunderstanding by people unfamiliar with java.

    Those marketing purposes are exactly what dtech is referring to.

      marketing purposes being a non-technical thing, which isn't a very meaningful support to saying something like js/webassembly are replacing the jvm.
