Show me a WASM VM that approaches the OpenJDK JVM in maturity and capabilities.

Until such a creation comes to be, the OpenJDK JVM will continue to thrive.



Ironically, GraalVM might end up being one of the better WASM VM: https://medium.com/graalvm/announcing-graalwasm-a-webassembl...


True, but GraalVM is based on the OpenJDK / OracleJDK JVM:

"GraalVM Community Editions are based on OpenJDK version 1.8.0_232 and on OpenJDK version 11.0.5. GraalVM Enterprise Editions are based on Oracle Java version 1.8.0_231 and on Oracle Java version 11.0.5." Source: https://www.graalvm.org/docs/getting-started/

So, it's still the OpenJDK JVM underneath.


Yup, that's why I said ironically, because it might end up that the best non-web VM for WASM turns out to be the JVM

Though V8 is more likely to be what WASM first targets.
