On: Linus Torvalds on Why ARM Won't Win the Server Spa...

With rich language runtimes, as app developer I don't care if my application instance runs on top of an OS, hypervisor or just plain bare metal.

The only devs that need to care about the native part are the ones writing the glue between runtime and hardware.

Somebody has to maintain the runtimes, they are not typically set up to be cross-compilable, I'm doing JVM development on my ARM systems right now.

Apparently you stop reading at the first sentence.

I'm not working on "glue between runtime and hardware".

[pjmlp → rjsw]

If you are maintaining a JVM runtime for ARM or writing JNI stuff then it looks to me you are doing just that.

Otherwise you completely lost me there.
