If this was true, Java would have taken that market already. There is
nothing new to that aspect of CIL, and specially with only one minor vendor
supporting it.
Basically you are right, but
- In fact Java is very widely in use (even though there are lots of
shortcomings regarding Java <e.g. performance> )
- AFAIK, CIL seems to improve some of the Java shortcomings
- CIL defines concepts for multi-treading and multi-processing
- every year the processing performance and available memory resources
improve and thus creating "economical" object code is less critical
- While (AFAIK) there are no (or only very few and rarely used)
languages besides Java that can create byte code for the just-in-time
compiling Java Framework, There are a lot languages with compilers form
different brands usable with CIL (several C# compilers, C++, Pascal,
(Oxygen and Delphi), Visual Basic, Iron-Python, .., <is there a
Java->CIL compiler ?> )
