But it DOES make binaries. Such a breath of fresh air after years of Java/Scala.
- ludovicianul 4y agoJava also makes binaries with GraalVM.
- wing-_-nuts 4y agoI never really understood this, especially in the age of small docker containers? You just yeet your jar into the container and deploy. Ok, so rust and go don't need a jvm. Why does it matter? Disk space is dirt cheap. It's not like statically linked binaries are small by any measure anyway.
- mrkeen 4y agoBecause I run binaries. Like docker, for instance. If I had to write "java -jar docker.jar -cp ..." and fuck around for a week trying to figure out where the env vars, JVM flags, and arguments to the actual program go, I would not use docker. Let alone piping input through grep, less and tail.
