And can we please get back to tagging videos with [video] at the end of the title?
If you submit a link to a video or pdf, please warn us by appending [video] or [pdf] to the title. [0]
This is the second all-video submission today (the other being the Job's interview) that wasn't tagged. It's not that big of a deal but when your on a mobile connection and you spend a minute waiting for a video you can't even watch to finish loading it can be really annoying.
"Here are some common misconceptions about the JVM and how it works, and a few interesting titbits. These are some things people want in, or to believe about the JVM. Here are some things which we would do to fix the odd bits, and make things a bit nicer."
Considering GC and concurrency issues, this talk is good for people making language choices on the JVM. In the end, he said he personally thinks STM is not a good way to program concurrency. And, I think immutable data is good for GC.
I went to the version of this talk he gave at Java Symposium; his argument was that it can work for Clojure, where immutability and functional purity resolve some of the problems. Perhaps these discussions moved his position slightly.
Or maybe he just learned Clojure people are pedantic and it's more time efficient to agree rather than argue with them.
i was wondering about that too. he later mentioned that the format is bad and that .net bytecode has a better format, so i think maybe he didnt mean bytecode in general but the format of jvm-bytecode.
