@debugninja@banana.dog When I first learned Java the computer I had to work with was a then mid-range Mac running a MC68LC040 processor (no FPU) and the JVM was, compared with today, not optimized at all. It wasn't long before I decided that this would never catch on and that native platform abstraction layers would be a better approach to write once run anywhere (compile once for each platform you care about vs. every user JITing). Predictions are hard, especially about the future.
