jvm.go is a toy Java Virtual Machine implemented in Go, focused on code readability as a learning project for both Go and the JVM. It implements the core JVM and relies on OpenJDK's rt.jar as its class library, using Go's garbage collector.
Use cases
- learn how a JVM works by reading a small readable implementation
- run simple Java programs like HelloWorld on a Go-based JVM
- study Java bytecode interpretation and class loading
- experiment with JVM internals without touching a production JVM
- learn Go by reading a systems-level project
When to choose
- you want a readable educational JVM implementation to study
- you need to run only simple Java programs for experimentation
- you are learning Go and want a nontrivial codebase to read
When to avoid
- you need a production-grade JVM with full Java SE support
- you need performance, complete garbage collection control, or modern Java features
- you need an actively maintained project - the last release was in 2019
