Other reasons developing TYA are:
-There are options beside of Linux: TYA is widely used
by FreeBSD people. (Maybe they have no option for sunwjit?)
-It's not unusual that newer TYA releases are faster than older,
so next time I'll show you applications (e.g. benchmarks) running
faster than using sunwjit.
-Maybe a day comes JDK will be real open source software? Who knows?
But I hope still ;) . At this moment TYA programmers could
benefit from internal JDK knowledge just like Sun programmers
can do today.
You really could expect some extra speedup for TYA.
(Unfortunately their current license is not compatible
with TYA's GPL.)
BTW, don't forget there's another FREE JIT option: think of shujit,
as far as I know now also useable for JDK1.2.
Cheers,
Albrecht
