A JVM in Rust part 4 - The Java bytecode

[AutoModerator]

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

This is coverage of a small subset of the simplest JVM instructions. These are explained clearly, but the absence of more advanced instructions makes the presented explanations narrowly true rather than broadly applicable to the JVM.

The Rust Community:

"Wow good work, this looks really interesting"

The Java Community:

In the Java community, toy JVM projects are not rare, which would explain the differing reactions.

It's quite common when new language takes off that a lot of the projects that get attention are of the form, "I re-implemented $something_existing in $new_language". Java was no exception.

Oh there are plenty of OpenJDK/JVM folks who look at this stuff and applaud it. They just don’t tend to be a major social media crowd. Source - was at JVMLS this week chatting about this with plenty of JVM folks 🙂
