- cageface 16y agoI wouldn't call them not "good", but they're not the same kind of universal platform that the JVM is. They all pretty much serve one language.
- wladimir 16y agoThat's true. Most try to focus on one language, instead of including everything. LLVM might be closest to an universal open source JIT platform. It is used as the backend of many of the language-specific VMs.
