john_scotland··on CheerpJ 3.1: JVM in WebAssembly and our roadmap for modern Java in the browser

This is awesome! I would love to have JVM running on the WASM server side

john_scotland··on Show HN: XOC 1.6.0: A Powerful, Commercially-Proven Compiler Framework

I think it would be nice if there was documentation to explain how this works. Does it mean I can compile Java Bytecode to WASM?

john_scotland··on Who is using Java (JVM) in startups?

That's my feeling. For me the only missing feature is WASM compilation. It's a shame that GraalVM native compilation is not targeting it.

john_scotland··on Who is using Java (JVM) in startups?

Java is not heavy. You can use GraalVM native compilation, and it will be as light as Golang. Modern frameworks like Quarkus or Helidon are lightweight. Sure, if you are working for an old style Java shop stuck with Java 8 and JavaEE. That's another story...

Would you choose Kotlin instead?

john_scotland··on Net Neutrality already attacked in Portugal

That's gross average wage and it's inflated by Lisbon region that have crazy rents. One-bedroom flat costs 600/500 euros, more if it's in city center.

Portugal have a minimum wage of 550 euros/month and an average wage of 850 euros/month or something like this. You can't compare absolute price.
