Hotspot is coded in C/C++, but I hope Harmony to choice Java as its major language. there is the reasons:
1. Implement a JVM using Java is possible and effecitive enough, like the JikesRVM, jode etc. 2. Java code has good feature for maintaince and reabability than C/C++, and it will enable more Java fans to understand and contribute to the project. 3. a full compatible JVM implemented using Java is an exciting news for the java world 4. Since there is already hotspot that works well, Harmony should focus mostly on new technology and more good architecture, not the times to complete the project. 5. A Java JVM will improve the Java/JVM technology such as GC, synchronize and etc, to enable the JVM as fast as possible. wangzx
