Ask HN: Is JVM the platform of the future?

JVM is slowly and steadily, going towards the path of perfection (believe it or not..) and Introduction of Groovy, Scala, Clojure (mamma-mia) is a breath of fresh air.... It is being constantly improved, and Java 8 promises a good startup time too. CLR is given a backburner by microsoft.... I see it being used heavily even in the distant future, what about you people?? Mind that I am talking about the platform only. Java sucks(For hackers only!) , JVM Rocks!! (for everybody)
