Personally when I saw JVM as a VM for this I lost interest. JVM is not how you make something as fast as C/C++. You want to make it that fast you should be running it directly on a C/C++ code base. Thats pretty much how Python, PHP, and other scripting languages work.

So the sight of pluggable VM backends, which includes JVM, somehow struck you as a deadly limitation?

Funny, most other languages dream of having their core implementation runnable on multiple VMs. Otherwise why does every successful language end up with a separate-and-nearly-equal JVM implementation?

As someone that started coding when C and C++ compilers code quality was seen as too slow for writing AAA games, this kind of comment is always funny somehow.

That's not true anymore with the new JVM tech
