It's not about having more information, it's about the possibility of
using other JVM supported languages. Language lock-in seems like a
severe limitation for a platform like the JVM -that it's clearly
evolving into a multi-language platform-

I assume this is only your guess. Anyway MS seems to be following this
way so soon we will see how fast it's (anyway I don't see why it
should be slower than Ruby -as they are both dynamically typed
languages-)

Anyway I was just wondering if anyone did know some solid reason as
why they didn't use bytecode interpretation.
