Agree. The JVM is annoying to start up because it takes forever but once it's running, Java code has (in my experience) been very fast. I was having a conversation a while ago about how the JVM is best in breed because at one point or another pretty much every luminary in the field of VM design including JITs and whatnot worked on the JVM.

> The JVM is annoying to start up because it takes forever In the wrong hands, yes. I didn't touch java for 5 years, but the start time was under 1 second. Is that forever? Look now at Quarkus and GraalVM.
