This makes it a very poor target compared to what it used to be years ago, especially on RISC-V because a large part of it&#8217;s popularity on other platforms was the idea that the JVM itself could be replaced with alternatives (those mostly are what no longer works).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nonetheless I will keep trying to get a JVM alternative working as I don&#8217;t want to waste all my old code written in that language, the other alternative is to port them to languages with similar syntax but no JVM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Avian codebase still works on older platforms, but I haven&#8217;t been very successful porting it to RISC-V, I can get the interpreter building but there&#8217;s just too many other problems especially due to the design of JNI being extremely tied to not-very-portable C++ ABIs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I can&#8217;t get any VM except OpenJDK working on RISC-V mostly due to the poor design of the system not being very portable at all when tied to JNI\/C++.
