On: Hate Java? You’re fighting the wrong battle.

[MrMan]

You have packed a lot of misinformation into one post. Cross platform does not matter for open source? People who use Linux also have a disdain for VMs like those that run Erlang, Python, Java, Scala, Clojure, etc? The JVM is probably the foremost example of a VM that uses JIT-ing really really well to achieve near-native speeds for a VM language.

Of all the VMs you mention, the JVM is by far the least portable of all.
