As far as I know, it's not hard to ship a JVM runner with the installer of your program, so this should be a non-issue.
- thayne 4y agoAnd using a "virtual environment" with a specific version of the interpreter is a common workflow for python, and sometimes ruby
- jpgvm 4y agoYeah but Ruby and Python aren't relocatable so it's hard to ship a self-contained interpreter with the program itself. This is due to their reliance on system paths among other things. You can trivially ship a self-contained JVM that is completely isolated within a single directory.
