JAVA: Just Another Version of Assembly

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago

WASM, also known as Javascript Java

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Do we have 3 assemblies now?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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

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

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

How many do you want?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

One. To rule them all.

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.

It’s a good fucking thing Java apps are cross platform.

Or so goes the promise 😅

Does Freerouting use libs with JNI or something? How does it not compile on linux?

Don't give Java the credit of inventing bytecode, it's a much cooler concept than that

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

As with most things, it was invented in the 70s or 80s only to be reinvented again later.

Java applets from 20 years: what am I to you?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Please AppleSoft BASIC was doing bytecode before Java was a gleam in a programmers eye.
