Surely there's a way to target the JVM? I'd trust my life on the JVM, it's pretty battle tested, and the GC is simply awesome.

- axod 16y agoYeah I'd trust my life on it. I've had java processes running for several months without issue. The hardware fails before the jvm does. I wouldn't trust anything from microsoft though.
- projectileboy 16y agoI've helped build rail control systems that run on Java, so you're probably trusting your life to Java daily without knowing it.
- shortlived 16y agoThe JVM really is great and the garbage collecting outstanding. Anyone who has written a real high performance app can tell you that.
