The Jacobin JVM project (jacobin.org) just reached the 3.5 year mark. Like we do every six months, we just posted an update: what we've done, what we'll do next. Also numbers, like that our test code is 2.07x the size of our production code. binstock.blogspot.com/2025/03/jacobi…

In our work on the Jacobin JVM, we just ran across this exception: UnsupportedFlavorException. That's a real thing in the AWT library and has been there since JDK 1.1 docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase…

What happens when two developers who are passionate about the JVM get time to work together: 240+ commits per month. #java #JVM jacobin.org

JacobinJVM (jacobin.org) is now interning strings, like the HotSpot JVM. And pace of development is accelerating: For the last 30 days, we had more than 200 commits (for the first time in any 30-day period.) #java #jvm #hotstuffcomingthrough

Jacobin #JVM development just reached the 30-month milestone. Since the last update, we added exceptions, static initialization blocks, and more telemetry. Test code is now 3.22x size of production code. Details on the project status and immediate goals: binstock.blogspot.com/2024/02/jacobi…

In our work on Jacobin JVM, we are now generating bytecodes on the fly and executing them. (Part of handling exceptions thrown by the JVM itself--that is, rather than the app.) Onward! #JVM #java

In 2023, @texadactyl and @platypusguy committed 841 times to Jacobin and closed well over 120 tasks. Development is accelerating. 2024 FTW!

Jacobin JVM (a JVM written in Go) project just reached its two-year anniversary. A lot has happened since our 18-month update. All the details of our progress now posted binstock.blogspot.com/2023/08/jacobi… #jvm #java

Our six-month update is coming up in August. It's been an amazing half-year: we've added non-static object instantiation, native implementation of the math routines, multi-dimensional arrays, and more. Currently working on subclassing and a full classpath implementation.

@andreabergia @rustlang 1.1 @jacobin_jvm, JVM implementation for Java 17, written in Go, aims to run class files & JARs. Emphasizing an extensive test suite, it provides a deep dive into JVM operations. Using Go's built-in memory management, it's a lightweight option requiring no extra GC code.

Jacobin devs will be attending the #OpenJDK Committer Workshop, although technically Jacobin is not based on OpenJDK. openjdk.regfox.com/openjdk-commit…

With @texadactyl doing some seriously heavy lifting we're on pace for ~110 commits/month. And the feature set is getting filled out nicely! #java #JVM

The Jacobin JVM project just hit the 18-month mark. We've almost completed the interpreter; our testing code is 2.3x the size of our production code--and still zero dependencies. Rah! The details: binstock.blogspot.com/2023/02/jacobi…

Update on Jacobin JVM project after nine months: binstock.blogspot.com/2022/05/jacobi… The big news is that Spencer Uresk ( @suresk ) has joined the project as a regular contributor. We're up to 19K+ lines of code--tests consume 2.0x as many lines as production code. Onward!

One of the biggest hurdles for devs wanting to contribute to OSS projects is the lack of a roadmap to the project's source code. On Jacobin, we just recently addressed this with a lengthy, detailed overview posted on our #GitHub wiki: github.com/platypusguy/ja…
