I'm curious why JVMs don't save the results of their JIT runs, especially for long-running processes. Why redo everything from scratch? It's unlikely the program behaviour will be substantially different next time.

Because it won't matter especially for long-running processes.
Well, my issues are that it sucks as a language for a number of reasons, and comes with an obnoxious, bloated, ENTERPRISE, unpractical standard library that's even worse than the language itself. It can't be compared to HTML because it doesn't even fall in the same category. It has to be compared with other T(o)uring-complete general-purpose programming languages such as Python, Smalltalk, Lua, Lisp, Ruby, Erlang, Haskell, etc., and it compares very unfavourably against any of these I've mentioned. If being among the bottom 3 in a list of the 15 most popular programming languages is not enough of a reason to bash it, then explain me what would be.

It would. Even Microshaft, if I'm not mistaken, caches .NET shit.

Java does fail quickly, but the standard library is one of the nicest things about it. Especially the byte/character streaming concepts are incredibly useful, as are the many plugin architectures.

Any program that needs an outside interpreter fails. Enough said.

Contrary to popular belief, BBcode is compiled into native HTML code on the server. You don't need to install a BBcode interpreter to view /prog/ -- or for that matter, even to post.
