[virtmach] Comments on Sun's JAVA VM Specification?

[Tristan Rybak]

This is a comment I found on tunes.org

>>The infamous Java Virtual Machine (JVM) is a VM introduced by Sun as a
standard compact (so they say) low-level representation for programs
>>written in Java. It sucks in that it is both too low-level and too
high-level to prevent efficient analysis, front-end and back-end
compilation, plus it's >>too adapted to Java.
>>A very bad choice for Java, even more so for other languages. It's kind of
the latest fad, but stay away from it if you can.

Since the people on this list have a wide range of experience with various
VMs, I was wondering if anyone has coments on Sun's Java VM specification?
What do you think are the good and the bad points?
