Should it just be called JASM?

So much better now

JAVA: Just Another Version of Assembly
WASM, also known as Javascript Java
Do we have 3 assemblies now?
- 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
- I'm making my own, because all mainstream options are bloated for my usecase...
- How many do you want?
  
  One. To rule them all.
  
  You forgot CC :)
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.

  Or so goes the promise 😅
  
  Does Freerouting use libs with JNI or something? How does it not compile on linux?

Don't give Java the credit of inventing bytecode, it's a much cooler concept than that
- As with most things, it was invented in the 70s or 80s only to be reinvented again later.

Remember kids, JSON was almost called JSML

Java applets from 20 years: what am I to you?
Please AppleSoft BASIC was doing bytecode before Java was a gleam in a programmers eye.
