JAVA: Just Another Version of Assembly

Do we have 3 assemblies now?

[-] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Actual assembly in mainstream use:
x86
arm
risc v

mainstream byte code:
jvm
.net (I think)
wasm

fake assembly people may write:
llvm
wasm

wat (web assembly text) is actually written is S-expressions, like lisp but without code as data.

Edit: formatting

.NET thing is called IL

[-] secana@programming.dev 9 points 2 months ago

The runtime is even called "common language runtime" (clr), as it is intended to support many different languages, which the jvm never was.

[-] starman@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago

Languages like F# or (God forbid) VB.NET

I'm making my own, because all mainstream options are bloated for my usecase...

I hate Java because whenever people make games or performance sensitive applications with it, performance is always complete ass shit. On top of that, it seems I always have to cave in and use Windows because when I'm trying to compile a Java project, there's some obscure dependency can only be acquired and installed correctly on windows.

Try compiling Freerouting in anything other than Windows for example. It's a good fucking thing Java apps are cross platform.
