I'm not a VM expert but some say the .NET CLR is better for non-Java languages. Then we got Dalvik for ARM platforms and Parrot for dynamic languages. The only reason I can see to use JVMs is when you are stuck with it...which may be often since it is likely the most popular VM by far. chris -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
