Comments by "Toby" (@toby9999) on "The Benefits Of The Java Virtual Machine (JVM) | The Most Powerful Programming Platform?" video.

  1. I hate the JVM conceptually. I also hate .NET conceptually. This is why I have an extreme dislike for any language that runs on these subsystems. Java being the most obvious one. The promise was to be platform independent. Then why develop a Windows only application in Java for instance? A lot do, and it's stupid. I even know of cases where a Java application is converted to native code. How silly is that? Why even bother making a desktop application cross platform when 99% of potential users run Windows? It's bloat. That remaining 1% may as well buy a Windows machine and have a better more performant application running natively. The most powerful platform is the hardware. Every unnecessary layer added on top is bloat.
