The Advantages of Having a JVM Interpreter
The advantages of having our own interpreter are mostly startup time related. If a method gets called 50 times we figure it's hot enough to actually compile into JVM byte code. The newer JavaScript implementation is all compiled, all byte code. Those implementations either have a big hit at compile time and they have a compile time or you can just run the Groovy code but you typically build it all. And then only generate the byte code for the things that really need it. Right, exactly.
