Initially I was very confused; why would a socialist magazine have an article about the JVM?

Author here: Long ago, when I got the domain, the project was going to be JAva COmpiler to BINary = Jacobin. And as the Jacobins were revolutionaries, it sort of fit the intended project. I don't recall whether Jacobin Magazine was in publication then or not TBH.
