Uh, wasn't this the whole point of it? I thought that this is exactly how it was supposed to work.
Second, it's not a separate bootloader, like GRUB or Chameleon, it's part of the OS.
If you have "a bootloader as a part of the OS", I think you're sitting in front of a hypervisor/VM system.
I suppose that's a java runtime of some sort?
Actually, it's based on exactly the Native Client environment that you said hadn't caught on.
Whuuu? The JVM does not have opcodes for allocating "java" objects unless you use a very strange definition of the term - if it worked that way then how could other languages target it?
But they can't. They either have to look sufficiently like Java in order to be able to run on it, or they have to resort to complicated translation strategies to pretend that they look sufficiently like Java. For example, one of the hallmarks of Smalltalk is the #become: operator that causes an object to be replaced by another object of any class (including fixing all the references to the object from anywhere if it can't be replaced physically in place). That's no problem in a dynamically typed language (the new object just has to provide adequate behavior, and of course you have to know what you're doing) but JVM simply doesn't have any such operation. (A similar thing goes for the CHANGE-CLASS operator in Lisp, or any other operation tweaking existing objects such as redefining a class to add instance fields to all existing objects of some class.) Thus "implementing Smalltalk on the JVM" basically means "implementing a sufficiently castrated dialect that omits anything that can't be done on the JVM " (at least everything that can't be emulated efficiently).
The JVM has opcodes for allocating objects and calling methods on them, including opcodes like invokedynamic that exist purely to support non-Java languages like Javascript, Python, Ruby, etc.
What invokedynamic gives you is allowing you to tweak the dispatch mechanism in a limited way. While sufficient for Python for example, it's still useless for Lisp. It still also requires the use of some complicated translation strategies because it still doesn't make Java objects look like Python dictionaries (with objects of the same class potentially having different instance fields).
If you think the JVM is language specific then I'd suggest looking at Ruby and Kotlin, two very different languages that are not much like Java
They're sufficiently close to Java to be runnable on the JVM provided that the developers of the runtime engage in reasonable flesh mortification. That's not the case with many languages. And what's the point of using a different language if it's not providing you any differentiating features?
First JVM is not language-specific:
Meaning that it easily supports (without unreasonable overhead) execution of pointer-based languages such as C, or multiple-inheritance languages such as C++, or dynamic languages (with hash-like objects) like Javascript or Python, or multiple-dispatch languages such as Common Lisp/CLOS, or languages with restartable exceptions such as (again) Common Lisp, or languages with lazy evaluation strategies such as Haskell or Scheme, or languages with continuations such as Scheme, right? Oh, wait, it doesn't - it has fundamental assumptions about how the language running on it should work! Well, guess what, going for a lower-level VM and simulating a virtual CPU removes a lot (even if not all) of these assumptions. That's the whole point of why LLVM was created.
Browser-side application logic is a nightmare and cannot ever be reliable or secure. If you really need client-side processing, do a real piece of software for it.
There's no way in which a non-browser client-side application is more reliable or secure than a client-side application in the browser. That is, unless you deliver it as some kind of tamper-proofed USB dongle with its own processing resources (and perhaps even then).
Yeah, but would anyone actually be punished?
Of course you would.
