HN comment orderCan anyone compare the JVM's technical merits with Microsoft's CLR? I always hear that the JVM compared to advanced alien technology, with its millions of engineer-hours, but not so much glowing praise about the CLR. With Oracle remaining evil and Microsoft making waves in open source these days, I wonder how likely it is, for example, that a Big Data ecosystem like Hadoop/Spark/etc. could evolve around C# and .NET.
