@whitequark it's the lingua franca of the JVM -
@bascule well, as far as VM design is concerned... honestly, CLR is far more interesting than JVM -
@whitequark uhh, strongly disagree. JVM has an all virtual mixed mode profiling JIT. CLR is mostly a stupid AOT compiler -
@bascule besides, with AOT you can afford much more interesting optimizations for rarely changing parts such as rt or other dynlang impls -
@whitequark with a profiling JIT you see optz an AOT compiler will never see (kettle, pot, black) -
@bascule startup time and predictability. -
@whitequark so "warm-up time" - 2 more replies

@bascule Is this a “know thy enemy” sort of thing? -
.
@krainboltgreene no, they're languages I actually want to use -
@bascule no, you’re only allowed one language. y u traitor? -
.
@krainboltgreene Ruby is the one and only programming language that should possibly exist, ever! -
.
@bascule That’s more like it. Don’t let me catch you straying.
