- davexunit 12y agoI'm hoping it's just the gateway drug. The JVM is a monster.
- twic 12y agoA good monster like Godzilla, or a bad one like King Ghidorah? Either way, could you explain why you think so?
- coldtea 12y agoMonster? It's the best and fastest JIT that exists...
- finishingmove 12y agoFaster than LuaJIT? ;)
- jeremiep 12y agoNot only the JVM (which is rock-solid at this point) but also immutability, persistent data structures, the separation between values and identities and its solution to the expression problem which is protocols. I was at first turned down by the JVM (not knowing any better back then), but it turns out being a hosted language is one of the best aspects of Clojure.
