Right, I think the languages that compile JVM bytecode were much more heading in a better direction than the ones who said "let's have fun and just start from scratch, and further fragment the industry"
- klodolph 6y agoYou’re just painting caricatures of language designers. Flamebait without substance.
- acdha 6y agoCouldn’t you also say the same thing about Java not going with one of the earlier bytecoded VMs? Or, from the other direction, would we have seen more languages embrace the JVM if it’d been more open and things like invokedynamic had been added earlier? I think there are some interesting points to made where you’re coming from, but this fragmented approach isn’t effectively making them. Something like a blog post might be better.
