Should it just be called JASM?
So much better now
lemmyviking, 
Please AppleSoft BASIC was doing bytecode before Java was a gleam in a programmers eye.
roon, 
Remember kids, JSON was almost called JSML
onlinepersona, Wait, are you serious? 😅

zagaberoo, Don’t give Java the credit of inventing bytecode, it’s a much cooler concept than that
onlinepersona, As with most things, it was invented in the 70s or 80s only to be reinvented again later.

MyNamesNotRobert, (edited ) I hate Java because whenever people make games or performance sensitive applications with it, performance is always complete ass shit. On top of that, it seems I always have to cave in and use Windows because when I’m trying to compile a Java project, there’s some obscure dependency can only be acquired and installed correctly on windows.
Try compiling Freerouting in anything other than Windows for example. It’s a good fucking thing Java apps are cross platform.
onlinepersona, It’s a good fucking thing Java apps are cross platform.
Or so goes the promise 😅
Does Freerouting use libs with JNI or something? How does it not compile on linux?

UnRelatedBurner, Do we have 3 assemblies now?
anton, (edited ) Actual assembly in mainstream use:
x86
arm
risc vmainstream byte code:
jvm
.net (I think)
wasmfake assembly people may write:
llvm
wasmwat (web assembly text) is actually written is S-expressions, like lisp but without code as data.
Edit: formatting
starman, 
.NET thing is called
IL
secana, The runtime is even called “common language runtime” (clr), as it is intended to support many different languages, which the jvm never was.
starman, Languages like F# or (God forbid) VB.NET
ZILtoid1991, I’m making my own, because all mainstream options are bloated for my usecase…
onlinepersona, How many do you want?
UnRelatedBurner, One. To rule them all.
