Ask HN: Is the JVM deprecated in the x86-64 world?
In the past world of Sparc, Risc, x486, x86-64, Itanium, etc ... the JVM seemed like a great solution to the problem of recompiling code for different CPU targets. But in today's world of cloud based commodity hardware can't we just optimize for x86-64 (C/C++) and be done with it? "Write once, deploy everywhere" has come full circle.
