Re: [rvm-research] JikesRVM as a static compiler

Hi Eliot,


I have looked at gcj but JikesRVM is a much more superior tool. Its ability
to use Java as a systems programming language, rebind Java bytecodes to
different CPU instruction sets, and its metacircular VM are very powerful
features. If you combine those features with those replacement objects
(that I am creating) that allow you to run on different hardware platforms,
you can create self sufficient Java programs that are faster, more secure,
mobile and have smaller memory footprints. My thanks goes to you for making
JikesRVM the incredible tool that it is.


With best regards,

Joe
