No one objected.
I'm not a VM expert but some say the .NET CLR is better for non-Java languages.
The response is mixed. There was a big conference sponsored by Sun
recently talking about implementing languages on top of the JVM. It had
some of the gurus from Microsoft there, too.
The CLR gets some things better, but it has its own points of abject
pain that the JVM manages to dodge, apparently.
It seems like they are about comparable.
