Linux support is bad on MS tech. Poor ecosystem and VM isn’t that great. JVM with ZGC is fast on Linux. Biggest lack is Value Types.

And I’m not deploying to Windows. That’s right out.

But lots of people find it useful, so more power to them. For me, it must deploy on Linux. That’s a dealbreaker. It’s not enough if some bare functionality is on Linux. I don’t want to be experiencing the equivalent trouble of trying to have a musl-only build.

JNI story is great. Can bind easily with rust-jni on Linux.

But need value types and some longer primitives (i128 and u128 would be nice).
