My take as a JVM engineer (which is a limited but interesting perspective) is that any of the good JVMs provides C-level performance for many interesting Java codes, while the CLR provides early-Java-level performance. The JVMs have been competing with each other on performance for a decade, and it shows. Performance isn't everything, but it often turns out to be important.

I enjoy languages which cleverly integrate a small number of high-leverage features, rather than juxtapose a bunch of shallow hacks. -- John --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
