The JVM is the one part of Java that is actually Gaining more mindshare. Granted "hello world" is not the ideal usecase - but you are missing the point. The cost you pay for hello world still remains the same up to a moderately sized app, and the more the complexity of your app, the more benefits you start to see from the JVM's memory model. A better comparison would be a real world app that scales to a number of users - tell me about JVM memory usage and performance then.
