I disagree with such Java Jingoism.  Jon's reasoning sounded pretty good
to me. . Launching several JVMs sucks.  And doing all in one is a recipe
for disaster...  (crash bang boom)

This is a sucky thing about java.  You get a JVM always whether you want
one or not.. to do it in java he needs a mod_java with GCJ.  (That
actually sounds kinda cool)
