I don't want to disappoint you or reduce what java has achieved, but

JIT's have been in use for many years before java in the Smalltalk

community.



Actually, I think to remember that MS was able to come up with a fast VM

in a short timeframe by getting it done from a development team which

had been working on Smalltalk VM's before.

Just in time compiler - or JITer's are super fast compilers which

basically

turns MISL to machine code for a specific platform. Read page 14 and 15

of

"C# Programming the Public Beta" Wrox title. JIT's were first developed

for

Java by a third party for use in there Virtual Machine.
