JAVA: Just Another Version of Assembly

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago

WASM, also known as Javascript Java

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 13 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Do we have 3 assemblies now?

[–] anton@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Actual assembly in mainstream use:
x86
arm
risc v

mainstream byte code:
jvm
.net (I think)
wasm

fake assembly people may write:
llvm
wasm

wat (web assembly text) is actually written is S-expressions, like lisp but without code as data.

Edit: formatting

.NET thing is called IL

[–] secana@programming.dev 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

The runtime is even called "common language runtime" (clr), as it is intended to support many different languages, which the jvm never was.

[–] starman@programming.dev 8 points 7 months ago

Languages like F# or (God forbid) VB.NET

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 11 points 7 months ago

I'm making my own, because all mainstream options are bloated for my usecase...

How many do you want?

[–] UnRelatedBurner@sh.itjust.works 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

One. To rule them all.

I hate Java because whenever people make games or performance sensitive applications with it, performance is always complete ass shit. On top of that, it seems I always have to cave in and use Windows because when I'm trying to compile a Java project, there's some obscure dependency can only be acquired and installed correctly on windows.

Try compiling Freerouting in anything other than Windows for example. It's a good fucking thing Java apps are cross platform.

It’s a good fucking thing Java apps are cross platform.

Or so goes the promise 😅

Does Freerouting use libs with JNI or something? How does it not compile on linux?

Remember kids, JSON was almost called JSML

Don't give Java the credit of inventing bytecode, it's a much cooler concept than that

[–] onlinepersona@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

As with most things, it was invented in the 70s or 80s only to be reinvented again later.

Java applets from 20 years: what am I to you?

[–] lemmyviking@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Please AppleSoft BASIC was doing bytecode before Java was a gleam in a programmers eye.
