thanks for saying this, sometimes I'm like "wow" on hackernews comments, because you kind of assume people know what they're talking about but then its like not really.

I know that Javascript isn't run in the JVM, my point was that it's possible to write a virtual machine that doesn't get exploited every 5 minutes.

the JVM is a bit special because there are a large amount of escape hatches, native code and a complex trust model, which has caused a lot of the exploits you end up seeing.
