How hard is it to get accepted? I have written a toy JVM without a GC, only interpreter, but I don’t feel qualified, and I am afraid of blowing my chance (is there some limit on how often can one apply?). I’m working on adding a templated interpreter+GC version next, afterwards I might have a bit more confidence.
- grashalm 4y agoI'd ask people that know you and have experience in the field for a realistic opinion (maybe a professor/assistant/phd?). It does definitely not hurt to code all kinds of systems stuff. Try to tinker with some low-level optimization problems. You should be an excellent coder too. In our case it does help to know the JVM ecosystem, including HotSpot details. And (shameless self plug), implement a Truffle language.
