JVM不适合Erlang

Erlang Doesn't Fit The JVM

Kevin Smith认为把Erlang移植到JVM是个坏主意。由于TCO递归、GC模型、序列化、闭包等方面的因素,对于一些具有强烈FP特征的语言来说,JVM平台是不明智的选择。

At its heart the JVM is designed to run O0 languages very efficiently.Languages like Erlang,Haskell,and Scheme provide features,like tail recursion,closures,and continuations,which are not prominent in the mainstream OO world the JVM targets.They depart far enough from the OO model to make the JVM a poor platform choice.
