Some of the biggest companies in the world use the JVM in their stack. Google, Amazon, eBay, Uber not to mention Twitter, all at enormous scale. There are several high frequency trading applications written in Java some claiming
to do 6M tps on a single thread [1].

I witnessed an attempt at processing appx. 15% of IRS volume using JAVA as a 
core technology.  I don't know the final outcome, but when I left they were 
about 400% beyond proposed SLA performance targets.  C/C++ seems like a good 
(maybe only) bet if they want to keep the workload on zTPF.

That's interesting! Is there a fundamental flaw in the JVM implementation on zTPF or was it down to poor design?

IBM ALCS became zTFP.  That is generally all in Assembler, unless you

TPF has had C/C++ since 1997.
