Having spent several years in the running-JVMs-in-production trenches I would claim the opposite.

I did address this objection upfront:

I've never done anything nontrivial with the JVM, so I'm totally willing to believe I was surprised because of my JVM ignorance, but I've never had to fiddle with my language VMs.

Regardless, I argue there's room for tasteful showmanship without it being clickbait.
