So much better now
JAVA: Just Another Version of Assembly
Do we have 3 assemblies now?
Actual assembly in mainstream use:
x86
arm
risc vmainstream byte code:
jvm
.net (I think)
wasmfake assembly people may write:
llvm
wasmwat (web assembly text) is actually written is S-expressions, like lisp but without code as data.
Edit: formatting
.NET thing is called
IL
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?
One. To rule them all.

Remember kids, JSON was almost called JSML
Wait, are you serious? 😅
Anti Commercial AI thingy
Don’t give Java the credit of inventing bytecode, it’s a much cooler concept than that
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?
Please AppleSoft BASIC was doing bytecode before Java was a gleam in a programmers eye.
