It is not a criticism as much as it is a fact, no less true than ever. The JVM is designed to run Java. Other languages also compile to Java bytecode, and Sun and Oracle have made some helpful changes. But the VM is OVERWHELMINGLY designed around the requirements of Java and to be performant for Java. Try compiling a non-OO language to fast bytecode without spending a lot of time considering what the analogous Java code would compile to. Java bytecode is so close to Java, you can decompile it almost directly to readable Java source. Try that with JRuby or Clojure or Scala and see how close you land. |
