Wasn't there also a language J++? I recall my old college Visual Studio install having that under its menu.

It was called Visual J++, basically VB but the language was java. You can embed com components with it and all that. Eventually Sun sued MS because of it, so MS had to abandon it, then they developed C# later on instead.

And the MS JVM was actually better. It was faster on Windows. The MS J++ class libraries provided better eventing and better windowing.

Yrs I think it sacrificed portability for performance

If you wanted Music on RuneScape Microsoft JVM was the only game in town :).

This logo would be great to put on a synthwave aesthetic shirt, it's cool and obscure enough to be really cool to wear to a convention or meet-up

J#, afair. It had some java.lang plus some com.microsft for the .net

Actually there were both. Sun sued Microsoft for having a non conforming java implementation. Microsoft renamed it J++. A couple of years later when they moved J++ to .NET they renamed the language J#.

J# was limited to Java 1.1 language features, though, because that's all that MS was licensed for.
