the JVM is an incredibly heavyweight runtime compared to CPython. I don't think we're going to find the next beginner-friendly language coming out of the most professional runtime in human history.
- pbourke 6y ago> incredibly heavyweight runtime The apps may be heavyweight, but the runtime was designed to run on set-top boxes 25 years ago.
- jaytaylor 6y agoThe JVM is definitely memory hungry (excluding cherry-picked examples such as 'set top deployments' or the Java Ring from the 90s), moreso than any other language runtime referenced in this discussion.
- valenterry 6y agoTrue, but I don't think that is what the OP was taking about. The language itself is rather independent of the runtime. Scala compiles to native code or Javascript as well.
