I believe that much of the work Sun had done on Self found its way to Java in the form of HotSpot.

Not to take anything from Self, but in regards to HotSpot, a more accurate history attributes the lineage to Smalltalk and the Animorphic team. Some details here https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/HotSpot

Right. Sun incorporated Animorphic's work into Self, and later purchased Animorphic and the technology became known as HotSpot.
