alt Hacker NewsThe java JIT has produced sufficiently fast code for all but the most demanding of HPC applications for going on 20 years. I realize keeping up with new developments can be difficult but the out of date java performance memes are entirely ridiculous by now.
Meanwhile half the world appears to run on cpython of all things.

My life for a browser that doesn't jitter and tear when scrolling or a terminal emulator that can actually process data near the speed my hardware can handle.
Yes, the JIT compiler compiles code. Yes, the results are good. That does not change the fact that the JVM still has and uses a bytecode interpreter, which the comment I replied to disputed.
