Which languages that are built on top of the JVM would have significant issues if generics weren’t implemented via erasure? I’m pretty sure Scala would be happier with reified generics. I think the CLR might not be as popular a target because of the Microsoft ties (and the main implementation being Windows-only and closed-source for most of the CLR’s existence).

Scala actually was implemented for the CLR, but was later dropped. Here is what its creator said: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14179881
