Any language that someone is arguing should be "the next big language" should take things other than everyday development on the JVM. Nevertheless, wanting to be able to patch the JVM has been a part of my "everday development" several times.

"everyday development"? Really? Could you explain which behavior needed patching? Garbage collection, I'm guessing?

I'm not saying the JVM is perfect but I'm inclined to think that if the JVM is causing you problems, you already had them in your architecture.
