  1. Re:Yes it is on Are C and C++ Losing Ground? · · Score: 1

    No OpenJDK includes the VM (perhaps it isn't well named) - but I was counting the VM in that.

    If you took out the core of the VM, it would be 100% java. There is a java version of hotspot being worked on, which will make it easier for the instruction generation/inlining to be ported to other architectures as they arise (as it is, it is fairly x86 centric at the moment IIRC).

    You can get OpenJDK source yourself, and see that it is between 70 and 80% written in java itself.

    But I wouldn't let facts get in the way of your excellent well thought out argument.

    How F^&*%^*KING hard is it for the editors to, *gasp* read the headlines before posting an article. Must take about 10 seconds. And slashdot has people on staff !!
