Pardon, but why isn't "no JVM" a "true alternative for the JVM"? The vast majority of the world's software still runs on raw hardware.

- cmccabe 14y agoUm, not using a virtual machine doesn't mean using unmanaged code. Even Java can be compiled to native x86 machine code using GCJ. Golang, for example, does not use a VM, but it is a managed language.
- dclusin 14y agoGood point. Do you happen to know of a list of managed native languages? All that really comes to mind is C# (the CLI really) and Go. Tried googling for a list of such languages but couldn't find any using terms "list of native managed languages" (without quotes).
