Re: [gosu-lang:914] Systems Java

[Alan Keefer]

Gosu runs on the JVM and compiles down to JVM bytecode at runtime, so
the technical limitations around Java and the JVM also apply to Gosu;
it's not any better suited for systems programming than Java itself
is, I'm afraid.

What is this Wikipedia page you're talking about?

Wow, not what I wanted to hear. However, I'm glad I know now, thank you. Should I edit Wikipedia and remove the "system" word in Comparison of Programming Languages for Gosu? Java already does not indicate "system".
