Hello Param Bir Singh,
This is Hariprasad Govardhanam, regarding your view about Java vs .NET
You are right that if Java's byte code specification is there, we can develop a
compiler for some other language over Java platform also. But Java's bytecode is just
suitable for Java language. For example, Microsoft .NET's IL is a separate language,
you can even program using that, and that language has got many more features than you
might have expected, it supports a lot, but any .NET compiler only uses a subset of
those features, for example, MS.NET IL is capable of providing operator overloading,
this is used by C# but J# does n't use that, so it is fair to call ..NET is Language
independent.
Yes languages needed to be modified, for them to be compatible with .NET platform,
but take the case of some language like Perl, it is a good programming language but it
has no available libraries, at least not as many as C or C++ has, if the developers of
Perl made small changes such that it is compatible with .NET platform, then you see
whole .NET library can be used by Perl developers, what else they want. It is a common
problem for man, to lose something to gain something, but the thing gained in this
case is far more valuer than the thing lost.
And regarding your view about ..NET's JIT compiler. yes there are many free JIT
compilers for Java also, even the JRE has that facility, but the facilities offered by
.NET's JIT are not offered by any of the Java JIT compilers. .NET's JIT can save the
code once compiled, in memory and then use the same compiled code, when the same sort
of code is found. And also, .NET's has a facility to save the Native compiled code in
a file so that when the program is running, that compiled code is used instead of
compiling again, making the program run at full speed.
.NET is a good platform, it has got everything Java has and a lot more. And for
everybody in this group who are expecting me to be somewhere related to Microsoft, Iam
a pure Java developer, and has n't even developed a single program on .NET platform.
