To some extent, yes. JVM bytecode is certainly simpler than x86 assembly. The big win is that bytecode is platform-neutral, so you don't have to rewrite your compiler for each architecture. Java's just-in-time compiler generates optimized assembly for every architecture. It's not perfect, but steadily improving. -Stuart Sierra --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
