- drdaeman 13y agoVarious smartcards use subset of Java 2 bytecode (search for "Java Card") although I'm not sure if it's particularly better or worse than running some other kind of instruction set.
- lucian1900 13y agoJazelle basically turned into an extension of Thumb2, where there are few extra instructions for things like bounds checks. It should theoretically help make faster JITs in general (not necessarily just JVM ones).
