Just to be clear: VM means a language VM like the JVM. I don’t have a problem with high level languages in general, but the gains in developer efficiency tend to be paid for by the CPU.
No I don’t think people die (although I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the case). I just don’t want to have to buy a 3000$ PC so I can run a fucking chat app, an editor and a browser somewhat decently. The opportunity cost of bad software is paid by billions of users every day.

- emsy 7y agoYes runtime is the better word and the JVM was a bad example anyway. There are much worse offenders when it comes to throwing away CPU power.
