But if you go the non-JVM way, you'll loose all the advantages it offers too: cross-platform, hotspot code tuning, memory management, ... Would you go back the bronze-age software development - just for the sake of getting rid of oracle software ?
If it's worth such a radical change, maybe you'd rather start a new language with a new VM. There was such a suggestion on James Gosling's blog: Why wouldn't he start a new language for a new VM ? It would be a great thing to do: it's the right time, the right man and we would be able to shed all the weight that was kept for the backwards-compatibility. And as a sidenote I see Glassfish is Oracle's now too. Aaaaaargh.... ;-) On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 13:54, Kevin Wright <[email protected]> wrote: > Not really.
