I don't get the point, what there is VM like when I compile Java,
Scala, F#, C# native code?
Compiling such language to native code require horribly convoluted
code generation. For instance, an helloworld in java compilled
natively with gcj gives you a 50Mb (!) binary blob.
GCJ also doesn't offer improved performance over the JVM for
non-trivial code. It will reduce the startup time, since no JIT is
needed, but beyond that it doesn't really offer benefits.
Not sure about other VM->native compilation
Microsoft built the Singularity OS using a special full-native compiler
for C# called Sing#. Very cool piece of technology that I really wish
they would release to the public: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sing_Sharp
You mean this?
