The JIT compiler has been around for some time. Occasionally it comes to my mind that, “hey, why not just compile Java source file directly to machine code?”
Along with compiled library, we can get rid of the cumbersome JVM.
The only barrier I can think of is the garbage collector. How’s your thoughts?
PS: Oh, you say portability? WTH is that? Plus, I’m forced to install a JVM in the first place.
vm can do complex optimizations based on information only available at runtime. Static compile time optimization simply can’t compete. Java is fast because it is running on the vm.
