Interpreted language free-for-all

they're for two completely different problems. Stop trying to force a square peg into a round hole like some dumbfuck PHP dev

PASCAL did the JVM decades before.

i guess you've never used lisp

also, what's going on with the intrusion of AOT competitors?

One VM decades later does not make a language designed to be compiled into a language designed to be interpreted.
Unrelated fun fact, I went to UCSD in the mid '90s and they didn't teach a single class in Pascal. UCSD p-code was purely the excrement coming out of the grad program they were dumping on you and keeping clear of themselves. UCLA's undergrad was in Pascal and we used to bully them for it.

uh huh right

Holy C

Ada already won (military spec reliance)
but they idiots in the industry and government just had to license everything out and make everything complicated again

The military has to replace all their Ada code with Rust. Ada isn't mathematically proven to be secure. By 2020 all major military systems will be rewritten in Rust.

Well, they should start by making compiler that would not take decades to compile multi million LOC software.

The fact that Ada is not mathematically proven to be secure is not irrelevant. All they need to prove is that any system implemented with Ada is mathematically secure.
